اسی منتر کے ساتھ بھکتی سے برہمن کو مناسب دان اور دکشِنا دے؛ کیونکہ کیشی کو مارنے والے دیو کیشو ہر طرح کی دولت عطا کرنے والے ہیں۔
Narada (teaching the proper devotional practice and its fruit)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: vira
It links mantra-recitation with devotional charity (dāna) and dakṣiṇā, teaching that offerings made with bhakti become a direct means to receive auspiciousness through Keśava’s grace.
Bhakti is shown as the essential inner disposition behind ritual action—giving to a worthy brāhmaṇa is not merely formal, but becomes spiritually potent when performed as an offering to Keśava.
Ritual protocol is emphasized: mantra-application and the rule of sa-dakṣiṇā (gift with honorarium) reflect the practical discipline of Vedic rite-performance (kalpa-oriented practice).
