‘ராம–அக்னி–வேத–வேத–அப்தி’ எனும் குறியெழுத்துகளாலும் ‘நேத்ரார்ண’ எழுத்துகளாலும் முறையாக மந்திரத்தின் அங்கங்களை அமைத்தான். பின்னர் மூலமந்திரத்தால் அனைத்திலும் பரவச் செய்து, விதிக்கப்பட்ட ‘மனு’வால் புடிதம்/சித்தி செய்தான்.

It presents a technical principle of mantra-sādhana: a mantra becomes effective when its ‘limbs’ (aṅgas) are correctly arranged, pervaded by the root-mantra (mūla), and ritually empowered (puṭīkaraṇa) through the proper formula (manu).
Though technical, it supports bhakti by showing that devotional worship and japa are strengthened when performed with correct mantra-vidhi—so the devotee’s remembrance and offering become disciplined and potent rather than casual.
It highlights mantra-śāstra technique used alongside Vedanga-style precision: coded letter/number mapping (bhūta-saṅkhyā/saṅketa), selection of specific syllables (netrārṇa), and procedural steps for mantra formation and ritual empowerment.
