Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It marks a formal transition into mantra-vidhi: the speaker promises a complete teaching of the deity’s mantras along with their supporting ritual components, indicating that correct method (vidhi) is essential for spiritual and practical results.
Bhakti here is expressed as attentive listening and receptivity to sacred instruction—“listen, I will explain”—showing devotion grounded in disciplined learning of the deity’s names, forms, and prescribed worship.
The emphasis is on applied mantra-śāstra within the Vedāṅga-oriented section: mantras plus ‘ādika’ (ancillaries) implies procedural correctness—recitation, ritual framing, and pacificatory (śānti) applications.
