It teaches that properly performed Devī-worship—done with completeness (saṃpūjya) and in the correct sequence (kramataḥ)—functions as pāpa-nāśana (sin-removal) and inner purification.
Bhakti here is expressed as reverent, orderly worship of the Divine Mother in specific forms; devotion is validated not only by feeling but by faithful observance of the prescribed ritual order, yielding moral-spiritual purification.
