FAQs
It asserts certainty of moksha for the devotee who approaches Lord Viṣṇu (Cakradhara) and performs worship in the scripturally prescribed manner, removing hesitation or doubt about the result.
Bhakti is shown as reverent approach (prāpya) and disciplined worship (pūjā) of Viṣṇu; devotion is not merely emotion but is expressed through faithful observance of vidhi, which the Purana presents as moksha-bearing.
Ritual procedure—vidhi/kalpa-oriented practice—is emphasized: worship should be performed 'vidhānataḥ' (according to ordinance), pointing to correct ritual method rather than speculative debate.
