It presents Viṣṇu as the supreme refuge—limitless (Ananta), undefeated (Aparājita), and especially responsive to sincere devotees—making devotion the central spiritual force.
By calling Viṣṇu “bhakti-gamya” (attained through devotion), the verse teaches that loving surrender and faithful remembrance are the effective means to reach Him, beyond mere ritual or intellectual effort.
No specific Vedāṅga is taught directly; the practical takeaway is devotional practice (stuti, smaraṇa, and namaskāra) as a Purāṇic discipline aligned with dharma and mokṣa.
