He established in the ocean a realm whose feet were revered by kings; endowed with royal enjoyments, he became fair of form, and by the merit of the “Half-Campā” tīrtha/rite he became happy, heroic, and possessed of a cāmara (the royal yak-tail fan).

FAQs
The verse functions as a phala-śruti: it states that association with a specific merit-source (here indicated as ‘Arddha-Campā’) grants tangible fruits—honor, prosperity, and inner well-being—showing how dharmic acts and tīrtha-contact are portrayed as spiritually potent in Mokṣa-Dharma teaching.
Bhakti is implied indirectly through the Purāṇic logic of grace and merit: reverence, sacred association, and dharmic observance produce refinement of character (happiness, valor) and auspiciousness—often presented as supportive conditions for sustained devotion to the Divine.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught explicitly in this verse; it primarily reflects Purāṇic tīrtha-phala doctrine—how place-based rites and observances are believed to yield defined results.
