शब्दब्रह्मतनुवर्णनम् — Description of the Form of Śabda-Brahman
ततस्तत्त्वमसीत्युक्तं महावाक्यं हरस्य च । पञ्चमंत्रांस्तथा लब्ध्वा जजाप भगवान्हरिः
tatastattvamasītyuktaṃ mahāvākyaṃ harasya ca | pañcamaṃtrāṃstathā labdhvā jajāpa bhagavānhariḥ
Rồi đại ngữ “Tat tvam asi” — “Ngươi chính là Điều ấy” — được nói (với Ngài), và năm thần chú của Hara cũng được thọ nhận. Đã nhận được như vậy, Đấng Thế Tôn Hari (Viṣṇu) liền bắt đầu trì tụng japa.

It shows that even Hari (Viṣṇu) approaches Hara (Śiva) through received mantra and disciplined japa, indicating that liberation-oriented knowledge (mahāvākya) becomes fruitful when anchored in Śiva-mantra practice under proper transmission.
By emphasizing “Hara’s mantras” and japa, the verse points to Saguna Śiva-upāsanā—devotional and ritual mantra-repetition commonly connected in the Purāṇa tradition with worship of Śiva’s manifest presence, including the Liṅga, as a means to realize the highest truth.
Mantra-dīkṣā (receiving the mantra) followed by regular japa of Śiva’s mantras—classically supported with purity disciplines such as vibhūti (Tripuṇḍra) and rudrākṣa in Śaiva practice when appropriate.
