The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
परमांते मे श्रियं स्यान्मंत्रो बाणगुणाक्षरः । बीजैर्वियुक्तो द्वात्रिंशदर्णोऽयं फलदायकः ॥ ९२ ॥
paramāṃte me śriyaṃ syānmaṃtro bāṇaguṇākṣaraḥ | bījairviyukto dvātriṃśadarṇo'yaṃ phaladāyakaḥ || 92 ||
“எனக்கு பரம ஸ்ரீ-செல்வம் உண்டாகுக”—இம்மந்திரம் பாண-குண விதிப்படி அక్షர எண்ணிக்கையுடன் அமைந்தது; பீஜாக்ஷரங்கள் இன்றி உள்ள இந்த முப்பத்திரண்டு அక్షர மந்திரம் பலன் தருவதாக கூறப்படுகிறது।
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in a technical Vedanga/mantra-vidya context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It frames prosperity (śrī) as attainable through correctly constructed mantra-recitation, emphasizing that spiritual efficacy depends on precise syllable-structure and traditional rules of mantra-vidyā.
While technical in tone, it supports bhakti practice by showing that devotional aims (auspiciousness and śrī) are pursued through disciplined, scripturally aligned mantra-japa rather than arbitrary utterance.
It highlights a technical rule of mantra-structure—counting akṣaras (syllables) and distinguishing bīja-syllables—reflecting Vedanga-style precision akin to śikṣā (phonetics) and chandas (metrical/quantitative discipline).
