वर्णलक्षं जपेन्मन्त्रं तद्दशांशं च पायसैः । घृताक्तैर्जुहुयाद्वह्नौ पीठे पूर्वोदितेऽचयेत् ॥ ४५ ॥
varṇalakṣaṃ japenmantraṃ taddaśāṃśaṃ ca pāyasaiḥ | ghṛtāktairjuhuyādvahnau pīṭhe pūrvodite'cayet || 45 ||
Dapat ulitin ang mantra hanggang isang lakh (isandaang libo) na pantig; at pagkatapos, bilang ikasampung bahagi ng bilang na iyon, maghandog sa apoy ng pāyasa (lugaw na gatas) na hinaluan ng ghee, at ilagay ang inihandang alay sa pīṭha o dambana na naitakda na noon.
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches a classical mantra-sādhana structure: intensive japa to build mantra-shakti, followed by proportional homa (one-tenth) to stabilize and consecrate the practice through disciplined ritual action.
Although technical, it supports bhakti by prescribing steady remembrance (japa) and offering (homa) as acts of devotion—training the mind in single-pointed worship and surrender through regulated practice.
It highlights ritual science—precise counting (lakṣa-japa), proportional offering (daśāṃśa), and homa materials (pāyasa with ghee) arranged on the prescribed pīṭha—reflecting technical procedure aligned with śrauta/smārta ritual principles.
