Bhakti-Śraddhā-Ācāra-Māhātmya and the Commencement of the Mārkaṇḍeya Narrative
यत्रामस्मृतिमात्रेण महापातकिनोऽपि ये । तत्पदे परमं यान्नि ते दृष्ट्वा किमुनाच्युत ॥ ९४ ॥
yatrāmasmṛtimātreṇa mahāpātakino'pi ye | tatpade paramaṃ yānni te dṛṣṭvā kimunācyuta || 94 ||
जिथे केवळ तुझ्या स्मरणमात्रानेही महापातकीसुद्धा तुझ्या चरणी परम पदाला पोहोचतात; हे अच्युत, तुझे दर्शन झाल्यावर त्यांना काय मिळणार नाही?

FAQs
It declares the extraordinary purifying potency of Acyuta (Viṣṇu): even the gravest sinners can reach the supreme state through simple remembrance, and direct vision (darśana) of the Lord makes liberation all the more certain.
Bhakti is presented as accessible and transformative: smaraṇa (remembering the Lord) itself becomes a saving practice, and darśana intensifies devotion into assured attainment of the Lord’s supreme abode.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is devotional sādhanā—regular smaraṇa (remembrance/recitation) as a purificatory discipline leading toward mokṣa.
