The
Vedas are full of mantras, therefore have been kept for ages
in their raw form to use in the different practices like patha,
karma, jata, gana, patas. It has been done to ensure that the
chanter clearly interprets the correct letters and sound for
each letter (svara). People are advised to chant the mantras

Mantras
Are Energy-Based Sounds
Sound is the foremost content of the creation. Mantras are divine
sounds. Saying any word produces an actual physical vibration.
Over time, if we know what the effect of that vibration is,
then the word may come to have meaning associated with the effect
of saying that vibration or word. Mantras appear really powerful
when this sound effect reaches the mind and the surroundings.
