[Advaita-l] vedic yajna

[Venkata sriram P]

Namaste Sarmaji,
 
/////
 
I doubt that the nyaasam means in some way that Satarudreeya paaraayaNa (or
otherwise its utilization) "confers" the benefit of performance of these
kratu-s. nyaasam is invocation of the respective aspects of the dEvata.

Abhinava Sankara in his introduction to shatarudriya bhAshya 
vide reference (shrI rudrasya karmakANDottamastvaM) says:

Hope the above one is clear.
