Ritual is relational, not coercive: ‘permission’ (anujñā) indicates humility and proper etiquette toward the sacred, framing worship as respectful invitation rather than command.
Ancillary dharma-ācāra material; not a core pancalakṣaṇa narrative segment.
Āvāhana by mantra points to the principle that speech-intention (vāk + saṅkalpa) ‘configures’ awareness; purity tools (pavitraka) symbolize refining the instrument (the practitioner) before contact with the divine.
