يا براهمن، من أدّى النذر على هذا النحو تمتع في هذا العالم بملاذّ مباركة؛ ثم بعد أن يذوق سعادة السَّوَرْغا مدةَ يوجا، يصير ملكًا ذا سيادةٍ شاملة، حاكمًا على الجميع.

FAQs
It presents a classic phala-śruti: correct performance of a prescribed vrata yields both immediate auspicious worldly well-being and longer-term heavenly enjoyment, illustrating the Purāṇic linkage between disciplined dharma and karmic fruition.
While the verse emphasizes vrata and its results, it supports bhakti indirectly by valuing faithful observance; in Purāṇic practice, such vows are typically performed with devotion to a chosen deity, making disciplined ritual a vehicle for sustained devotional commitment.
Ritual discipline is implied: proper vrata-performance depends on correct kalpa-style procedure (ritual method) and often on jyotiṣa-based timing (auspicious observance days), even though the verse itself focuses on the resulting benefits.
