The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
किं बहूक्तुन सौभाग्यं पुत्रान्पौत्रान्परं सुखम् । धनं धान्यं च मोक्षं च सीताराधनतो लभेत् ॥ १४१ ॥
kiṃ bahūktuna saubhāgyaṃ putrānpautrānparaṃ sukham | dhanaṃ dhānyaṃ ca mokṣaṃ ca sītārādhanato labhet || 141 ||
وماذا عسى أن يُقال بعد ذلك؟ إنّ من عبادة السيدة سيتا ينال المرءُ السعادةَ والبركة، والأبناءَ والأحفاد، والهناءَ الأعلى، والمالَ والحبوب—بل وينال حتى التحرّر (موكشا).

FAQs
The verse functions as a phalaśruti, declaring that sincere Sītā-arādhana grants both worldly well-being (prosperity, family continuity, happiness) and the highest aim, mokṣa—showing devotion can encompass all puruṣārthas.
It presents worship (arādhana) of Sītā as a complete bhakti-sādhana whose fruit culminates in liberation, implying that loving, faithful devotion is not merely for material boons but can mature into mokṣa.
No specific Vedāṅga technique (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa procedure) is detailed in this verse; it emphasizes the devotional result (phala) of a vrata/ārādhana rather than a technical ritual manual.
