The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
पश्यंतीं रामवक्राब्जं विविधाकल्पभूषिताम् । ध्यात्वैवं प्रजपेद्वर्णलक्षं मंत्री दशांशतः ॥ १२ ॥
paśyaṃtīṃ rāmavakrābjaṃ vividhākalpabhūṣitām | dhyātvaivaṃ prajapedvarṇalakṣaṃ maṃtrī daśāṃśataḥ || 12 ||
سیتا کو یوں دھیان میں لائے کہ وہ رام کے کنول جیسے چہرے کو تک رہی ہیں اور طرح طرح کے زیورات سے آراستہ ہیں؛ پھر سادھک اسی دھیان کے ساتھ منتر کے ایک لاکھ حروف جپے اور مقررہ دَشاںش بھی ادا کرے۔
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada within the Vedanga/ritual-technical discourse)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It links inner visualization (dhyāna) with disciplined repetition (japa), teaching that mantra-siddhi is supported by both devotion-filled contemplation and a precise, measured practice (varṇa-lakṣa with daśāṃśa).
Bhakti is expressed through a personal, form-based meditation—envisioning the beloved deity (here centered on Rāma’s lotus-like face) and sustaining that loving attention while completing the mantra count.
It emphasizes a technical japa discipline: counting by syllables (varṇa) and following a structured proportion (daśāṃśa), reflecting a procedural, rule-based approach typical of ritual science and allied Vedanga-style precision.
