Dvādaśī-vrata: Month-by-month Viṣṇu Worship and the Year-End Udyāpana
तथैव स्नापयेद्विप्र घृतप्रस्थेन सादरम् । कृत्वा जागरणं रात्रौ पूजयेत्पूर्ववद्व्रती ॥ ४५ ॥
tathaiva snāpayedvipra ghṛtaprasthena sādaram | kṛtvā jāgaraṇaṃ rātrau pūjayetpūrvavadvratī || 45 ||
Gayundin, O brāhmaṇa, paliguan nang may paggalang (ang anyo ng Diyos) gamit ang isang prastha na ghee (ghṛta). Pagkatapos magpuyat sa buong gabi (jāgaraṇa), ang tumutupad ng panata ay muling sumamba gaya ng dati.
Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: vira
It emphasizes disciplined devotion through ritual purity (abhisheka), reverence (sādara), and sustained remembrance via night-long vigil (jāgaraṇa), culminating in repeated worship.
Bhakti is shown as steady, attentive service: offering valuable substances like ghee, staying awake in dedicated remembrance, and continuing the same worship sequence with consistency.
Ritual procedure and measurement are implied—using a defined unit (prastha) and a prescribed sequence (pūrvavat), reflecting disciplined kalpa-style vrata practice rather than speculative devotion.
