COMMENTARY
Repetition of the Mantra is regarded as the best of all Yajnas or
sacrifices. There is no loss or injury in this Yajna. Manu says: “Whatever else the Brahmana may or
may not do, he attains salvation by Japa alone”.
Ashwatthah sarvavrikshaanaam devarsheenaam cha naaradah;
Gandharvaanaam chitrarathah siddhaanaam kapilo munih.
