The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
तारो रामश्चतुर्थ्यंतो वर्मास्त्रं वह्निवल्लभा । अष्टार्णोऽयं महामंत्रो मुन्याद्यर्चा षडर्णवत् ॥ ११२ ॥
tāro rāmaścaturthyaṃto varmāstraṃ vahnivallabhā | aṣṭārṇo'yaṃ mahāmaṃtro munyādyarcā ṣaḍarṇavat || 112 ||
Ang pantig na “tāra” (Oṃ), saka “rāma” na nagtatapos sa anyong datibo (rāmāya), kasama ang mga mantrang ‘baluti’ (varma) at ‘sandata’ (astra), at ang pariralang “minamahal ng Apoy”—ito ang dakilang walong-pantig na mantra. Ang pagsambang nagsisimula sa pagbanggit sa mga ṛṣi at iba pa ay isasagawa tulad ng para sa anim-na-pantig na mantra.

It codifies a mantra as a complete sādhana-unit: not only the core name-mantra, but also its protective and empowering limbs (kavaca/varma and astra), showing that devotion is supported by precise ritual-technology.
Bhakti here is expressed as disciplined mantra-japa and worship: invoking the sacred sound (Oṃ), addressing the deity through a grammatically correct mantra-form, and performing the established worship sequence—devotion guided by śāstra.
Vyākaraṇa (grammar) is implied by “caturthyanta” (dative-case ending in mantra formation), and ritual procedure (kalpa-style method) is indicated by prescribing worship steps (munyādi-arcā) and ancillary mantras (varma/astra).
