The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
परमन्त्रान् ग्रसद्वंद्वं भक्षयद्वितयं ततः । त्रासयद्वितयं वर्मास्त्राग्निजायांतिमो मनुः ॥ ४९ ॥
paramantrān grasadvaṃdvaṃ bhakṣayadvitayaṃ tataḥ | trāsayadvitayaṃ varmāstrāgnijāyāṃtimo manuḥ || 49 ||
मग शत्रू-परमंत्रांना ‘ग्रस ग्रस’ या द्वयाने गिळतो, नंतर ‘भक्षय भक्षय’ या द्वितयाने भक्षण करतो। वर्म-मंत्र व अस्त्र-मंत्राने अग्निज अंतिम मनु ‘त्रासय त्रासय’ या द्वयाने भय उत्पन्न करतो।
Narada (within the technical narration of mantra-vidya in Book 1.3)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: vira
It portrays mantra-śakti as a disciplined, technical power: protection (varma/kavaca) and controlled force (astra) are used to neutralize harmful counter-mantras, emphasizing mastery and restraint in Vedic ritual science.
Indirectly: it suggests that even technical mantra practice is meant to uphold dharma and protection; in the broader Purāṇic frame, such powers are subordinate to righteous intent and ultimately to devotion-centered living.
Mantra-prayoga (applied mantra procedure) and rakṣā-kriyā (protective rites): the use of kavaca (armour) and astra (weapon) mantras to counteract and subdue opposing mantra-forces.
