It emphasizes that true worship begins with dhyāna (meditation) and can be performed through mānasa-upacāra (mental offerings), showing inner purity and focused devotion as central to ritual efficacy.

It highlights technical ritual precision—use of a copper vessel and a specific measure (prastha) of water—reflecting applied procedural knowledge akin to Kalpa/ritual science and traditional measurement standards used in rites.
