The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
तेन यत्नेन कर्त्तव्यं लक्ष्मणार्चनमादरात् । श्रीरामचंद्रभेदास्तु बहवः संति सिद्धिदाः ॥ १४७ ॥
tena yatnena karttavyaṃ lakṣmaṇārcanamādarāt | śrīrāmacaṃdrabhedāstu bahavaḥ saṃti siddhidāḥ || 147 ||
Vì thế, với chính sự tinh cần ấy, hãy thành kính cử hành việc thờ phụng Lakṣmaṇa. Quả thật, Śrī Rāmacandra có nhiều hình tướng và phương diện được thừa nhận, và tất cả đều ban cho thành tựu tâm linh.
Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: vira
It emphasizes disciplined, reverent worship (arcana) as a direct means to siddhi, highlighting Lakṣmaṇa’s worship as supportive to Rāma-bhakti and spiritually efficacious.
Bhakti here is shown as careful, intentional practice—worship done with ādarā (reverence). It also affirms that devotion can approach Śrī Rāma through multiple valid aspects/forms (bhedas), each capable of granting spiritual success.
The verse points to ritual praxis—arcana performed with method and attentiveness—aligning with Kalpa-oriented discipline (procedural correctness in worship), even if the specific steps are not detailed in this single śloka.
