The instruction was this: just as any mantra has its receiving ṛṣi, its devatā to whom it is directed, its meter [chandas], its power [śakti] and its esoteric scope [bīja], so this mantra of six syllables has as its ṛṣi Brahmā, as its devatā Rāma, as its meter Gāyatrī, as its power namaḥ and as its scope “a” ti “ya”. This is the best of al mantras. Further, if one offers all he has to Rāma, he will enjoy the things of this world as well as liberation in the next. Having thus given the boon to Brahmā, Nārāyaṇa disappeared, says Śiva, leaving with Brahmā orders to spread the secret teaching [upadeśa] to the world at large. Brahmā and his fellow sages undertook to obey Nārāyaṇa’s orders; this is how Brahmā came to be the preceptor of all mankind. Śiva concludes his story by advising Pārvatī to learn that same all important six-syllable mantra, etc., in order to gain her own liberation. [...]”.
