Ici, quiconque parmi les êtres vivants accomplit le culte, le sacrifice, le japa et autres pratiques avec une dévotion suprême, atteint l’état le plus élevé.
Śrī Bhagavān (Hari/Viṣṇu)
Tirtha: Gupta-Hari (Ayodhyā)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devas (and all beings as beneficiaries)
Scene: A pilgrim-devotee in the sacred place performs pūjā, yajña, and japa with intense devotion; the deity’s presence is felt as a luminous response, suggesting ascent to the highest state.
Supreme devotion transforms ritual into liberation—bhakti is presented as the decisive force leading to the highest goal.
“Here (atra)” refers to the Gupta-Hari sacred abode within Ayodhyā, where devotion yields the highest attainment.
Pūjā (worship), yajña (sacrificial worship), and japa (mantra repetition), performed with parā bhakti.
