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.
