JāgaraFAQs
A single concentrated act of bhakti—Hari’s night-vigil—is praised as equivalent to vast scriptural study and universal pilgrimage.
Dvārakā is the implied tirtha-context, while the verse also universalizes merit across all tīrthas.
Observe Hari’s jāgara; it is taught to yield the same fruit as Veda-study, Hari-arcana, and bathing at all tīrthas.
