The Description of the Caturdaśī Vrata Observed throughout the Twelve Months
किमत्र बहुनोक्तेन पूजाध्यानजपेक्षणम् । यद्भवेत्तत्समुद्दिष्टं ज्ञानमोक्षप्रदं नृणाम् ॥ १५ ॥
kimatra bahunoktena pūjādhyānajapekṣaṇam | yadbhavettatsamuddiṣṭaṃ jñānamokṣapradaṃ nṛṇām || 15 ||
ここで多くを語って何になろう。肝要なのは礼拝と瞑想と、真言の反復(ジャパ)である。そこから生じるものはすでに示された――人に解脱(モークシャ)を授ける智慧である。
Narada (teaching in a summarizing, instructional tone within the Anukramanika-style section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It prioritizes core sādhana—pūjā, dhyāna, and japa—over excessive discourse, stating that their true fruit is jñāna that culminates in mokṣa.
By emphasizing pūjā and sustained remembrance (dhyāna, japa), it frames devotion as disciplined practice that ripens into liberating insight rather than mere talk about spirituality.
Mantra-japa implies correct mantra usage and recitation discipline (linked with Śikṣā for pronunciation and Vyākaraṇa for correct forms), though the verse mainly stresses practice over technical elaboration.
