FAQs
It functions as a contents-marker: it points the reader to teachings on Devī’s triumph, Śiva as Oṁkāreśa, and the mantra-theology of Oṁkāra—linking victory (śakti), sacred sound (praṇava), and Śiva’s manifestation.
By naming Durgā’s victory and Śiva’s forms alongside Oṁkāra-māhātmya, it indicates bhakti expressed through stotra, nāma, and mantra (praṇava) as primary devotional means toward Devī and Śiva.
Mantra-prayoga centered on Oṁkāra is implied; this connects to Śikṣā (proper phonetics of praṇava) and Vyākaraṇa/Nirukta-style understanding of sacred terms used in ritual recitation.
