Vrata: none

It functions as a dhyāna-style description: a precise visual form (five faces, ten arms, three eyes, crescent ornament) meant to steady the mind and invoke the deity’s presence during worship or mantra practice.
By giving a concrete, auspicious form to contemplate, it supports bhakti through focused remembrance (smaraṇa) and reverent visualization, turning devotion into a disciplined meditative act.
It reflects applied ritual-technical knowledge used in pūjā and dhyāna—iconographic specification and meditative framing that commonly accompany mantra-vidhi and worship procedures.
