- कृतकृत्यः treated as compound adjective meaning ‘having done the duty’
Varāha
Human effort (kriyā) culminates in fruition through divine favor; ‘kṛtakṛtya’ signals alignment of intention, duty, and outcome.
Pair disciplined practice with surrender: perform the rite conscientiously, then rely on grace rather than anxiety about outcomes.
Merely performing this Vināyaka-centered rite frees one from all obstacles; by Vināyaka’s grace one becomes kṛtakṛtya (one who has accomplished what must be done).
Observance yields sarva-vighna-vimukti and completion of duties; non-observance leaves one vulnerable to impediments and incompletion.
Removal of all obstacles; attainment of kṛtakṛtyatā through Vināyaka’s kṛpā.
