दश त्रिंशच्च तान्पूर्वान्पितॄनेव तथापरान् । उद्धरत्येव संसारान्मंत्रेणानेन पूजिता ॥ ६५ ॥
daśa triṃśacca tānpūrvānpitṝneva tathāparān | uddharatyeva saṃsārānmaṃtreṇānena pūjitā || 65 ||
Khi được tôn thờ bằng thần chú này, Ngài quả thật nâng đỡ và cứu độ các tổ tiên đời trước—mười và ba mươi thế hệ—cùng cả những người khác nữa, giải thoát họ khỏi xiềng xích luân hồi thế tục.

It teaches that mantra-centered worship has trans-generational spiritual efficacy, extending merit and deliverance to one’s ancestors and helping free them from the cycle of saṃsāra.
By emphasizing pūjā performed with a specific mantra, it highlights focused devotional practice (mantra-bhakti) as a powerful means to benefit both the worshipper and their lineage.
It points to correct mantra-prayoga (application of sacred formula) and ritual procedure—areas informed by Śikṣā (phonetics) and Vyākaraṇa (grammar) for accurate recitation, central to effective pūjā.
