It teaches that worship should be grounded in a correctly formed sacred diagram (yantra): the ṣaṭkoṇa placed in the lotus-center becomes the ordered “seat” where divine power is invoked and honored as the nine Śaktis.
Bhakti here takes a disciplined ritual form: devotion is expressed through careful preparation (drawing the yantra) and reverent pīṭha-pūjā, treating the divine presence as truly established and worthy of complete worship.
It highlights technical ritual procedure—yantra-lekhana (diagram drawing) and pīṭha-pūjā sequencing—reflecting the applied, rule-based side of Vedic practice used in mantra-upāsanā.
