FAQs
It elevates jāgaraṇa (a disciplined night-vigil after Devi worship) as a meritorious observance whose fruit—ārddhi, complete success and prosperity—is revered as universally potent, even in the three worlds.
It frames bhakti as both worship (arcana) and sustained devotional discipline (staying awake in remembrance, singing, recitation), indicating that devotion is proved through continued, embodied practice rather than a single act.
