ये मानवा हरिकथाश्रवणास्तदोषाः कृष्णांघ्रपद्मभजने रतचेतनास्च । ते वै पुंनति च जगंति शरीरसंगात् संभाषणादपि ततो हरिरेव पूज्यः ॥ ५३ ॥

ハリの物語（ハリ・カター）を聴くことで過失が洗い清められ、クリシュナの蓮華の御足への礼拝（バジャン）に心が没入する人々は、まことに諸世界を浄める。その人々と交わり語らうだけでも清められるゆえ、礼拝すべきはただハリのみである。

FAQs
It declares that hearing Hari’s stories and devotion to Krishna’s lotus-feet removes faults, and that such devotees become purifiers of the world—so worship should be centered on Hari.
Bhakti is shown as śravaṇa (listening to Hari-kathā) and bhajana (loving service at Krishna’s feet), producing inner purification and transmitting sanctity to others through satsanga.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is sādhana through śravaṇa and satsanga—regular listening to Hari-kathā and keeping holy company.
