The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
रत्नाकल्पं विभुंध्यात्वा वर्णलक्षं जपेन्मनुम् । यद्वा स्मारादिमन्त्राणां जयाभं च हरिं स्मरेत् ॥ ६२ ॥
ratnākalpaṃ vibhuṃdhyātvā varṇalakṣaṃ japenmanum | yadvā smārādimantrāṇāṃ jayābhaṃ ca hariṃ smaret || 62 ||
રત્નાકલ્પ-રૂપ સર્વવ્યાપી પ્રભુનું ધ્યાન કરીને, એક લાખ વર્ણ સુધી મંત્રજપ કરવો; અથવા સ્માર આદિ મંત્રોથી જય-શ્રી આપનાર હરિનું સ્મરણ કરવું.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in the Vedanga/ritual-mantra context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It presents a disciplined sadhana: meditation (dhyana) on the Lord, sustained mantra-japa to a prescribed measure (varṇa-lakṣa), and an alternative path of constant remembrance (smaraṇa) of Hari through recognized mantras.
Bhakti is expressed as smaraṇa—remembering Hari as the victorious, auspicious Lord—supported by mantra practice; the verse frames japa and remembrance as direct devotional engagement with Vishnu.
It highlights mantra-śāstra discipline: counting/measure in japa (varṇa-lakṣa) and the correct application of specific mantra sets (Smāra and related), reflecting technical ritual methodology typical of Vedanga-influenced practice.
