मृत्युमृत्युं ततः शौरिर्भानोर्नारायणान्वितः । नृहरेर्द्वाविंशदर्णोऽय मन्त्रः साम्राज्यदायकः ॥ १५ ॥
mṛtyumṛtyuṃ tataḥ śaurirbhānornārāyaṇānvitaḥ | nṛharerdvāviṃśadarṇo'ya mantraḥ sāmrājyadāyakaḥ || 15 ||
Als Nächstes kommt das Mantra „Mṛtyu-mṛtyu“; dann das Mantra des Śauri; dann das des Bhānu, verbunden mit dem Namen Nārāyaṇa. Dies ist das zweiundzwanzigsilbige Mantra des Nṛhari (Nṛsiṃha), das Souveränität und Herrschaft verleiht.

It classifies potent protective and success-bestowing mantras, culminating in a 22-syllable Nṛsiṃha (Nṛhari) mantra presented as capable of overcoming fear and granting worldly authority when practiced with discipline.
By naming Viṣṇu through epithets like Śauri, Nārāyaṇa, and Nṛhari, the verse frames mantra-japa as a focused form of bhakti—devotion expressed through sacred sound and remembrance of the Lord’s protecting power.
It reflects mantra-vidyā and akṣara-count awareness (a technical feature aligned with Śikṣā/phonetics), indicating that syllable-structure and correct recitation are essential for the intended ritual and spiritual results.
