The Exposition of the Dvādaśī Vow for the Twelve Months
Dvādaśī-vrata-nirṇaya and Mahā-dvādaśī Lakṣaṇas
द्वादशैव हि सौवर्णीं दक्षिणां प्रददेन्नमेत् । इति कृत्वा व्रतं विप्र प्रीणयित्वा जनार्दनम् ॥ ६६ ॥
dvādaśaiva hi sauvarṇīṃ dakṣiṇāṃ pradadennamet | iti kṛtvā vrataṃ vipra prīṇayitvā janārdanam || 66 ||
دَکشِنا کے طور پر ٹھیک بارہ سونے کے سکے دے کر پھر سجدۂ تعظیم کرے۔ یوں، اے وِپر! ورت ادا کر کے جناردن کو راضی کرنے سے یہ کرم مکمل ہوتا ہے۔
Narada
Vrata: none (continuation of the same vrata sequence)
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: vira
It emphasizes that a vrata becomes spiritually fruitful when completed with proper dakṣiṇā (charitable honorarium) and humble namaskāra, culminating in the pleasing of Janārdana (Vishnu).
Bhakti is expressed here through reverent action—offering (dāna/dakṣiṇā) and bowing (namana)—with the explicit aim of pleasing Vishnu, showing devotion as disciplined worship rather than mere sentiment.
It highlights ritual procedure (kalpa-oriented practice): completing a vowed observance with prescribed dakṣiṇā and formal salutation as part of correct rite-performance.
