The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
अगस्त्यः श्रीशिवः प्रोक्तास्ते तेषां मुनयः क्रमात् । अथवा कामबीजादेर्विश्वामित्रो मुनिः स्मृतः ॥ ५७ ॥

ان کے لیے بالترتیب رِشی کے طور پر اگستیہ اور شری شِو بیان کیے گئے ہیں۔ یا کام بیج وغیرہ کے لیے وشوامتر مُنی کو دَرشتا (seer) کے طور پر یاد کیا جاتا ہے۔
Sanatkumara (in dialogue with Narada, teaching Vedanga/Mantra-śāstra conventions)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
It preserves the traditional mantra-śāstra rule that every mantra has an associated ṛṣi (seer) and authority-lineage; correct attribution is part of disciplined practice and safeguards the integrity of recitation.
While technical, it supports bhakti by emphasizing orderly, tradition-rooted worship: mantras are approached through authorized seers and deities, aligning devotion with śāstric method rather than improvisation.
A practical mantra-vidhi detail: identifying the mantra’s ṛṣi (seer) for bīja-mantras (like the Kāma-bīja), including an alternate tradition that assigns Viśvāmitra as the ṛṣi.
