It identifies attachment (rāga), specifically the limitedizing tendency called kalā-rāga, as a causal link that generates differentiated embodiment so that the self undergoes experience (bhoga), thereby sustaining saṃsāra.
By showing that rāga drives embodiment for enjoyment, it indirectly supports Bhakti as a corrective: redirecting attachment away from bhogya (objects) toward the Lord reduces binding desire and loosens the compulsion toward repeated embodied experience.
A Vedanga-style analytic model is implied: understanding causal sequencing (subtle disposition → attachment → differentiated functions/limbs → experience). This supports disciplined practice by diagnosing rāga as the operative mechanism behind karmic embodiment.
