It emphasizes mantra-śakti: the Purana presents remembrance (saṃsmaraṇa) itself as a potent practice, where the mantra’s power can bring hidden facts to light—showing the tradition’s view that sound-form (varṇa) and recollection can produce tangible results.
While framed as a technical mantra result, it still highlights a bhakti-like principle: steady remembrance (smaraṇa) is central. The verse implies that sincere recollection activates grace and clarity, which aligns with devotional disciplines where smaraṇa is a primary limb.
It points to mantra-lakṣaṇa and varṇa-count (a technical marker used in śikṣā/vyākaraṇa-informed mantra study): the mantra is specified as dvātriṃśad-varṇa (32 syllables), reflecting the Vedanga concern for precise phonetics, structure, and correct formulation in ritual practice.
