It sets graded time-bound restraints based on the substance involved, showing how dharma regulates conduct through measurable periods of restraint so that one returns to ritual and spiritual discipline in an orderly way.
Bhakti in Purāṇic practice is supported by niyama (self-restraint). By prescribing specific waiting periods, the verse protects the devotee’s worship rhythm—helping keep offerings, vows, and temple/service acts aligned with purity and timing.
Jyotiṣa (Vedāṅga astrology) is implied through “ravisaṃkrama” (solar transit), indicating that calendrical markers like saṅkrānti and paurṇamāsī govern when certain rites or resumptions are considered valid.
