The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
श्रीरामोऽहं तथा बीजं रां शक्तिः समुदीरिता । रामाब्धिवह्निवेदाक्षिवर्णैः पंचांगकल्पना ॥ १२४ ॥
śrīrāmo'haṃ tathā bījaṃ rāṃ śaktiḥ samudīritā | rāmābdhivahnivedākṣivarṇaiḥ paṃcāṃgakalpanā || 124 ||
“Ta là Śrī Rāma.” Âm chủng tử (bīja) là “rāṃ”, và śakti của nó cũng được tuyên bố như vậy. Theo các chữ được ký hiệu bằng “Rāma–đại dương–lửa–Veda–mắt”, hãy thiết lập sự an trí năm phần (pañcāṅga-kalpanā).
Narada (teaching in a technical/Vedanga-oriented context, within the Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue frame)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It identifies Śrī Rāma as the mantra’s core deity-consciousness (“I am Śrī Rāma”), then specifies the bīja ‘rāṃ’ and its śakti, indicating that devotion and realization are supported by precise mantra-technology (bīja–śakti–aṅga structure).
Bhakti here is not only emotional remembrance but disciplined japa centered on Śrī Rāma, where the devotee approaches the deity through the bīja and its śakti, integrating devotion with correct mantra formation and contemplation.
It reflects a Vedanga-style technical method: varṇa-saṅketa (coded letter designations) used to build a pañcāṅga (five-limbed) mantra framework—useful for ritual application such as nyāsa, japa-vidhi, and structured recitation.
