FAQs
It lays out a graded path to siddhi: beginning with a saving sacred principle (tāra), moving through correct ritualized practice (kriyā), stabilizing it as steady establishment (pratiṣṭhā), and culminating in prīti—devotional, joyful love—pointing beyond technique to the supreme aim.
By placing prītyāḍhyā (richness of loving delight) after ritual and establishment, it implies that the highest efficacy is not mechanical performance but practice ripening into heartfelt devotion, which then leads “beyond” to the supreme.
It emphasizes kriyā-yuk—practice aligned with prescribed rites—reflecting a Vedanga-style concern for correct procedure and disciplined application, with pratiṣṭhā indicating stabilizing the practice as a consistent observance.
