Concept: Siddhi arises from integrated practice: inner visualization (dhyāna), sonic repetition (japa), fire-transmutation (homa), and consecratory bathing (abhiṣeka).
Application: Adopt the fourfold sequence as a template for mantra practice; treat bījas as ‘power-seals’ that frame the deity-name and function (trailokya-mohana) within a disciplined rite.
