IV, above) N膩r膩ya峁嘺鈥檚 narration to 艢r墨vatsa and Vi峁ａ箛udharma and turns to an analysis and eulogy of the eight- syllable 补峁ａ弓腻办峁谤补尘补苍迟谤补. First the 辫谤补峁嘺惫补-syllable of OM is analyzed, the three letters representing the three 驳耻峁嘺蝉; the trinity of God, Goddess and J墨va; etc. (1-55). Then the element 苍补尘补岣� is treated (56-63), whereupon He turns to 狈腻谤腻测补峁嚹乱补 and its meaning (鈥渢he destination [ayana] of all 箩墨惫补蝉 [狈腻谤腻蝉]鈥�) (64-85). Finally, He counsels japa-repetition of the mantra and tells that, by doing this repetition at certain times and in certain ways, various prayogic effects can be achieved (86-108).
