The Vision of Mohinī (मोहिनी-दर्शनम्)
तत्त्वया सर्वमेतद्धिकृतं राजन्सुदुस्तरम् । तस्यैव कर्मणः पुष्टिरशून्यस्य महीपते । इमानेवाग्रतः पुण्यास्त्वयोक्तान्विस्तराच्छृणु ॥ १३ ॥

O König, durch dein wahres Erkennen ist all dies wahrlich vollbracht worden, obgleich es äußerst schwer zu überschreiten ist. O Herr der Erde, eben dies ist die Stärkung und Frucht jenes zielgerichteten, nicht vergeblichen Handelns. Nun höre im Einzelnen diese höchst verdienstvollen Dinge, nach denen du gefragt hast, während ich sie dir vortrage.

FAQs
The verse links tattva (true understanding) with success in dharmic effort: right insight makes even difficult spiritual aims ‘crossable’ and turns action into meaningful, fruit-bearing karma.
While not naming bhakti directly, it sets the bhakti-friendly principle that sincere inner understanding (tattva) makes practice effective; Narada then promises to explain the requested meritorious teachings in detail—typically the kind that support devotion through sacred acts and holy narratives.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana or Jyotisha) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is methodological—listen systematically ‘in detail’ (vistarāt) to dharmic instructions so that karma becomes aśūnya (not vain).
