It states that ritual effects such as stambhana are to be attempted only after mantra-siddhi (perfection of the mantra), emphasizing discipline, qualification, and correct observance rather than mere technique.
While primarily technical, it implies that ritual power depends on sustained upāsanā (devotional practice) leading to mantra-siddhi; outer observances (like yellow attire) are secondary supports to inner steadiness and faith.
It highlights applied ritual procedure—mantra-sādhanā leading to siddhi and the use of prescribed ritual markers (āsana/vastra/mālya/anulepana), aligning with the text’s technical-science orientation in Book 1.3.
