FAQs
It prescribes the anupāna (vehicle) for administering the Yogarājaka formulation—powder, ghee, honey, jaggery-based carriers, or water—and adds a ritual step of mantra-empowerment using “oṃ hrūṃ sa.”

By insisting on mantra-consecration alongside administration, the verse frames healing as both therapeutic and purificatory—aligning bodily remedy with sacred sound to support auspiciousness and the removal of impediments.
