Varāha
Ritual discipline (vidhi) when joined with purity and devotion becomes a direct means to divine attainment.
Perform the stated observance exactly as prescribed, cultivate inner purity, and orient the act as bhakti to Nārāyaṇa rather than mere external compliance.
Prescribed observance of the gaṇāntikā is to be maintained according to rule; purity and bhakti lead to attainment of the Lord’s realm.
Proper observance yields purification and Viṣṇu-loka; neglect implies loss of that purificatory/soteriological result (fruit not obtained).
Śuddhi (purification), bhakti-siddhi, and attainment of the Lord’s realm (mama-loka).
