The 10.23 - 10.29 you quoted above seems to be > mantras that are ordained to purify the mala. Please look carefully at 23 - Having consecrated the mala, one has to do a japa on manu. BTW, it is consecration and not simply a purification (like the rules purification of cloth, silk, gold, utensils in dharma sutras and manusmriti). Pay attention to 25 - "Add praNava in the beginning and namaH in the end and do a japa of the following" - This is an injunction to perform a japa, which I think, very well falls in the realm of "worship". The subsequent rudra mantras with variations are found in mahanArAyaNa itself - "vAmadevAya namaH jyeshTAya namaH rudrAya namaH...." and ends with rudra gayatri. This is followed by yet another injunction of doing a japa on sadashiva by adding praNava & namaH in front & back. So, the vidhi seems to be the japa of rudra mantras with the mala after consecration. Regards, Kasturi Rangan .K ------------------------ Yahoo!
