على أفضل السالكين أن يُجري النْياسا (nyāsa) بوضع المقاطع المنبثقة من مانو (Manu) على الحلق، وعلى جانبي الجسد، وعلى الظهر؛ على أن تُفصل كل مقطع وتُقدَّم ببراناڤا «أوم» (Oṁ).

It teaches a precise nyāsa method: sanctifying specific body-points by installing mantra-syllables, each joined with Oṁ, so the practitioner’s body becomes a fit vessel for japa and worship.
By prescribing mantra-nyāsa, it supports bhakti as disciplined worship: devotion is strengthened through correct mantra-vidhi, where Oṁ-centered placement prepares the sādhaka for focused remembrance of the Divine.
Mantra-vidhi and śikṣā-oriented precision: correct use of praṇava with mantra-syllables and their ritual placement (nyāsa), reflecting technical liturgical practice emphasized in Book 1.3.
