FAQs
It frames the Naradiya Purana as a Nārāyaṇa-pleasing scripture: honoring, studying, and living its teaching is presented as a direct means to satisfy Vishnu and gain spiritual uplift.
By stating that what yogis and siddhas revere “pleases Nārāyaṇa,” the verse emphasizes that devotion expressed through hearing/recitation (kīrtana) and reverent practice is itself a valid and exalted approach to Vishnu.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Śikṣā, Vyākaraṇa, or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this line; instead, it highlights the practical discipline of śravaṇa–kīrtana (listening/recitation) as the applied method for benefiting from Purāṇic instruction.
