Glory of Puruṣottama: Pañcatīrthī Observance and Narasiṃha Worship
सिद्धां विद्यां च शास्त्राणि गृहीत्वा साधकोत्तमः । ज्वलद्वह्निस्फुलिंगोर्मिवेष्टितं त्रिदशं हृदि ॥ ११० ॥
siddhāṃ vidyāṃ ca śāstrāṇi gṛhītvā sādhakottamaḥ | jvaladvahnisphuliṃgormiveṣṭitaṃ tridaśaṃ hṛdi || 110 ||
بعد أن أتقنَ المعرفة المُنجَزة (الفِدْيا) وتسلّح بالكتب المعتبرة، يحملُ خيرُ السالكين في قلبه الحضورَ الإلهي، كأنه مُلتفٌّ بأمواج النار المتّقدة وشررها.

It presents the ideal sādhaka as one who has internalized siddha-vidyā and śāstra, culminating in an intense inner realization where the divine is held in the heart with fiery spiritual radiance (tejas).
Bhakti is implied as inward devotion—keeping the divine ‘in the heart’—supported by disciplined study and practice, so devotion becomes a living inner presence rather than merely external ritual.
The verse emphasizes śāstra-grahaṇa (systematic assimilation of authoritative texts), aligning with Vedāṅga-style disciplined learning (especially Vyākaraṇa and Śikṣā as foundations) as a support for effective sādhanā.
