Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It presents a technical ritual sequence: concluding a primary mantra section (Puruṣa) and appending fear-dispelling formulas, emphasizing protection (śānti) through correct recitation order.
Though procedural, it supports bhakti practice by safeguarding the devotee’s worship through śānti-mantras—removing fear and disturbances so devotion can be steady and focused.
It reflects mantra-vidhi and recitation-structure (counts/series like ‘eight-eights’ and ‘sixty-four’), aligning with Vedanga concerns for precise phonetic and procedural deployment of mantras.
