यावच्चावैदिकं मंत्रं पौराणं चागमोद्भवम् । सर्वं रुद्राक्षमालायामीप्सितेष्टार्थदायकम्
yāvaccāvaidikaṃ maṃtraṃ paurāṇaṃ cāgamodbhavam | sarvaṃ rudrākṣamālāyāmīpsiteṣṭārthadāyakam
มนต์ใดก็ตามที่มิใช่เวท เป็นปุราณะ หรือกำเนิดจากอาคม—ทั้งหมดนั้น เมื่อสวดภาวนาพร้อมมาลารุทรाक्षะ ย่อมเป็นผู้ประทานผลอันพึงปรารถนาและเป็นที่รักยิ่ง

Concept: Ritual instruments (rudrākṣa-mālā) can amplify mantra-sādhana across textual lineages—Vaidika, Purāṇika, and Āgamic—toward iṣṭa-siddhi.
Application: Choose one mantra and practice consistently with a clean mālā, steady japa count, and ethical restraints; treat the mālā as a vow-object (vrata-aṅga) rather than a mere accessory.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: yāvaccāvaidikaṃ → yāvat + ca + avaidikam; cāgamodbhavam → ca + āgama-udbhavam; rudrākṣamālāyāmīpsiteṣṭārthadāyakam → rudrākṣa-mālāyām + īpsita-iṣṭa-artha-dāyakam.
It teaches that mantras—whether non-Vedic, Purāṇic, or Āgamic—become especially efficacious for attaining desired results when practiced with a rudrākṣa rosary.
