Single-minded samādhi (tatparatā) and disciplined inner restraint are presented as the highest form of worship, capable of bringing one into direct relation with the cosmic progenitor (Brahmā).
Vaiśaṃpāyana praises a foremost Brahmin, stating that he has directly propitiated Brahmā—the world-teacher and universal grandsire—through unwavering meditative absorption.
