The Exposition of Nṛsiṁha Worship-Mantras, Nyāsa, Mudrās, Yantras, Kavaca, and Nṛsiṁha Gāyatrī
अपूपलक्षहोमे तु भवेद्वैश्रवणोपमः । क्रुद्धस्य सन्निधौ राज्ञो जपेदष्टोत्तरं शतम् ॥ ८१ ॥
apūpalakṣahome tu bhavedvaiśravaṇopamaḥ | kruddhasya sannidhau rājño japedaṣṭottaraṃ śatam || 81 ||

It links precise ritual action (lakṣa-homa) and disciplined recitation (108-japa) with tangible outcomes—prosperity like Kubera and protection in hostile royal situations—showing the Purana’s technical, results-oriented ritual theology.
While primarily ritual-technical, it implies bhakti through faithful dependence on mantra and sacred offerings: devotion expressed as disciplined practice that seeks divine order and protection rather than mere confrontation.
It highlights prayoga-style ritual procedure: homa with specified count (lakṣa) and japa with a standard sacred number (108), reflecting technical application of mantra-counting and ritual performance used in Vedic sciences.
