Dhvaja-Dhāraṇa Mahātmyam: Sumati–Satyamatī, Humility, and Deliverance by Hari’s Messengers
एषा च नर्तनं चक्रे तथैव ध्वजरोषणम् । अन्तकाले विष्णुगृहे तेन निष्पापतां गतौ ॥ ७० ॥
eṣā ca nartanaṃ cakre tathaiva dhvajaroṣaṇam | antakāle viṣṇugṛhe tena niṣpāpatāṃ gatau || 70 ||
彼女は舞を舞い、また同様に旗幟を掲げさせ(あるいは旗竿を鳴り響かせ)た。命終の時、その行いによってヴィシュヌの御住処に至り、罪なき身となった。

It teaches that even simple, heartfelt devotional acts offered in connection with Viṣṇu—such as sacred dance and honoring His banner—generate puṇya that can remove sin and lead the soul to Viṣṇu’s abode at death.
Bhakti is shown as accessible and action-based: physical expressions of devotion (nartana, dhvaja-sevā) performed with reverence become spiritually transformative and culminate in remembrance and divine attainment at life’s end.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is directly taught; the practical takeaway is ritual-devotional practice (upacāra/sevā) within Vaiṣṇava worship—using sanctioned acts to accrue merit and purify conduct.
