Methods for the Removal of Sin and the Eulogy of Prabodhinī Ekādaśī/Dvādaśī
एतज्ज्ञात्वा तु विद्वद्भिः पूजनीयो जनार्दनः॥ वेदोक्तविधिना भद्रे आगमोक्तेन वा सुधीः॥
etaj jñātvā tu vidvadbhiḥ pūjanīyo janārdanaḥ || vedokta-vidhinā bhadre āgamoktena vā sudhīḥ ||
यह बात समझ के पंडित लोग जनार्दन की पूजा करते हैं। पूजा दो तरह से हो सकती है। वेदों में जो लिखा है उस हिसाब से, या फिर आगम में जो बताया गया है उस से। दोनों तरह से भगवान खुश होते हैं।
