FAQs
It stresses urgency and discipline: a human chance is rare, so one should actually practice prescribed dharma—especially fasting dedicated to Hari—as a direct support for purification and devotion.
Bhakti here is made practical: honoring “Hari’s day” with upavāsa is presented as a mandatory devotional observance, turning reverence for Vishnu into a lived vrata rather than mere belief.
The verse points to ritual discipline (kalpa-oriented vrata practice): knowing which day is ‘Hari’s day’ and how to observe its fast belongs to applied dharma/ritual procedure rather than grammar or astrology explicitly.
