FAQs
It states a direct spiritual result (phala): śravaṇa (listening) of Purāṇic teaching gives rise to auspicious bhakti toward Viṣṇu, and that bhakti naturally orients one’s buddhi toward dharma.
Bhakti is presented as something that can be awakened through śravaṇa—regular, attentive hearing of Purāṇic narration—leading the heart toward Śrīpati and shaping conduct through dharma-centered understanding.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is sādhana: purāṇa-śravaṇa as a disciplined practice that strengthens dharma-buddhi.
