It links a specific dāna/vrata act (candrārddha-dāna) with “sarva-siddhi,” emphasizing that disciplined charity performed on the correct tithi and with proper deity-form contemplation is a direct means to auspicious attainments.
Bhakti is expressed here as tithi-based upāsanā—worshipping the world-governing Lord through a recognized divine form (Śakra-rūpa), combining reverence, ritual timing, and offering (dāna) as devotional practice.
It highlights calendrical/astronomical application—tithi observance (Bhādrapada, Śukla pakṣa, Dvitīyā), aligning ritual action with lunar time-reckoning as used in traditional Jyotiṣa-based vrata scheduling.
