It defines tattva-nyāsa as a disciplined inner consecration: the practitioner ritually “installs” cosmic principles onto the body, treating the body as a sacred support for mantra and contemplation.
By prescribing nyāsa, it turns the devotee’s body and speech into instruments of worship; such embodied mantra-practice supports focused remembrance and reverence, strengthening devotional absorption.
It reflects technical mantra-phonetics and ritual application—how specific varṇas (letters) are placed and marked (here with “candra”), aligning recitation and visualization with a precise procedure.
