It links tīrtha-based purification (pañca-tīrthī done विधिवत्) with the culminating act of Viṣṇu-darśana on Śukla Dvādaśī, presenting ritual purity and direct devotion as a single integrated path.

Kalpa and Jyotiṣa are implied: correct ritual procedure (vidhi/kalpa) and calendrical timing by lunar day and fortnight (Dvādaśī, Śukla Pakṣa, month of Jyeṣṭha) for performing the observance and seeking darśana.
