Hrīṃ e Śrīṃ—este mantra incorpora as kalā que começam com Nivṛtti, os tattva que começam com a Terra, os mundos que começam com Ananta e os fonemas que começam com Oṃ. É a fórmula de nove aspectos que começa com ‘ha’, a série de mantras que começa com Sadyojāta, e ‘hrāṃ’ como o coração e os demais membros (aṅga). Assim, o Grande Senhor como mantra—de natureza de vidyā realizada—manifesta-se como o Oceano supremo de néctar, permeando todos os seres, com seis membros estendidos a todas as direções; como o oceano da essência de Sadāśiva, glorioso suporte da vastidão do mar pleno; como a karṇikā (centro) constituída de Vidyā, plenitude semelhante ao céu, onisciência e poder de agir, marcada pelo Jyeṣṭhā-cakra com Rudra-Śakti. Com as nove Śakti e as formas que começam com Śiva—nascidas da raiz e dos três maṇḍala—eu venero, com reverência, o Padmāsana e as sagradas pādukā.
Lord Viṣṇu (in instruction to Garuḍa), within a mantra–pūjā/vidhi passage
Concept: Microcosm–macrocosm identity via mantra: phonemes, tattvas, kalās, and deities form one integrated ‘mantra-śarīra’.
Vedantic Theme: Non-dual pervasion (sarva-bhūta-vyāpti) and the unity of knowledge-power (vidyā-śakti) with agency (kartṛtva) under Īśvara; contemplative integration of categories dissolves fragmentation.
Application: Use structured visualization: correlate mantra parts (bīja/varṇa), bodily loci (aṅga/ṣaḍaṅga), and cosmological principles (tattva/kalā) during japa to stabilize attention and deepen meaning.
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
Type: subtle-body/mandala

FAQs
This verse frames hrīṃ and śrīṃ as seed-syllables that encode cosmic principles (kalās, tattvas, worlds, and phonemes), making the mantra a condensed form of the deity and the universe for ritual worship.
It explicitly mentions ‘hrāṃ’ as the heart and other aṅgas, and describes the mantra as having the six limbs extending to all directions—indicating a nyāsa-style ritual mapping of mantra power onto the practitioner and space.
Approach mantra-recitation with clarity of meaning and disciplined method: treat the mantra as a complete sacred system (sound, body-mapping, and intention), and keep the practice ethically grounded (śauca, restraint, and devotion).
