Śaunaka dit : C’est bien, ô noble Sūta. Tu nous as exposé la grande méthode tantrique—enseignée par les Kumāras—capable d’élever et de sauver le monde.

Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It affirms that sacred procedures (vidhāna) taught by authoritative sages (the Kumāras) are intended for loka-saṅgraha—uplifting and guiding the world through disciplined practice and right knowledge.
While Bhakti is not explicitly named, the verse supports devotional tradition by validating a transmitted sacred method as “world-uplifting,” implying that properly taught practices can become vehicles for divine orientation and spiritual progress.
The emphasis is on vidhāna (procedure/system)—a technical, practice-oriented approach aligned with Vedāṅga-style precision in ritual method, correct instruction lineage, and faithful transmission of teachings.
