Verse 15

न तिथिर्न च नक्षत्रं न राशिगणनं तथा । कुलाकुलादिनियमो न संस्कारोऽत्र विद्यते । सर्वथा सिद्धमन्त्रोऽयं नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ १५ ॥

na tithirna ca nakṣatraṁ na rāśigaṇanaṁ tathā | kulākulādiniyamō na saṁskārō’tra vidyatē | sarvathā siddhamantrō’yaṁ nātra kāryā vicāraṇā || 15 ||

Translation

No lunar day, no lunar mansion, no reckoning of the zodiac; no rule of kula and akula and the like, and no saṁskāra of the mantra. This mantra is siddha in every way; it need not be examined.

Meaning

The commentary supplies "are to be reckoned": none of the calculations that govern other mantras apply.
