The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
तत्साधकैः सदा कार्यं लक्ष्मणाराधनं शुभम् । अष्टोत्तरसहस्रं वा शतं वा सुसमाहितैः ॥ १४८ ॥
tatsādhakaiḥ sadā kāryaṃ lakṣmaṇārādhanaṃ śubham | aṣṭottarasahasraṃ vā śataṃ vā susamāhitaiḥ || 148 ||
అందుచేత సాధకులు ఎల్లప్పుడూ శుభమైన లక్ష్మణారాధన చేయవలెను—అష్టోత్తర సహస్ర జపమో, లేక కనీసం శత జపమో—పూర్తి ఏకాగ్రతతో.

It emphasizes that steady, concentrated worship (ārādhana) is itself auspicious and spiritually effective, with prescribed japa counts (1008 or 100) serving as a disciplined framework for devotion.
Bhakti is presented as consistent practice—regular worship and mantra repetition—performed with a gathered mind (susamāhita), showing that sincerity and focus are central to devotional success.
Ritual discipline and measurable japa counts (saṅkhyā-niyama) are highlighted—an applied, technical aspect of practice aligned with procedural precision valued in Vedic ritual culture.
