He is told first that the rakṣā-protection which is effected is of two kinds—one, a kind of awesome and glowing radiance to one’s being, and the other a verbal and spellbinding power. The bulk of the chapter is given over to a description of the radiant variety (1-21), and how it -effects mystically the life of the believer initiated into the mantra (22-30a).
