सत्सङ्गदेवार्चनसत्कथासु हितोपदेशे निरतो मनुष्यः । प्रयाति विष्णोः परमं पदं यद्देहावसानेऽच्युततुल्यतेजाः ॥ ६३ ॥
satsaṅgadevārcanasatkathāsu hitopadeśe nirato manuṣyaḥ | prayāti viṣṇoḥ paramaṃ padaṃ yaddehāvasāne'cyutatulyatejāḥ || 63 ||
ਜੋ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਸਤਸੰਗ, ਦੇਵ-ਅਰਚਨ, ਸਤਕਥਾ-ਸ਼੍ਰਵਣ ਅਤੇ ਹਿਤ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੀਨ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਵਿਸ਼ਨੂ ਦੇ ਪਰਮ ਪਦ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ; ਅਤੇ ਦੇਹ ਦੇ ਅੰਤ ਤੇ ਅਚ੍ਯੁਤ ਵਰਗੀ ਕਾਂਤੀ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
Narada (teaching in the Purva Bhaga context; aligned with Narada’s instruction on bhakti-oriented conduct)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It teaches that sustained engagement with satsanga, worship, sacred discourse, and wholesome guidance purifies the mind and leads to Viṣṇu’s supreme abode, culminating in divine-like radiance at death.
Bhakti is shown as a lived discipline: keeping saintly company, practicing worship, hearing true kathā, and accepting hitopadeśa—together forming a devotional lifestyle that culminates in Viṣṇu-realization.
No specific Vedāṅga is taught directly; the practical takeaway is ritual practice (devārcana) and disciplined listening/learning (satkathā, hitopadeśa), which support dharma and inner purification.
