The Characteristics of Devotion to Hari
धिग्जन्म भक्तिहीनानां देवदेवे जनार्दने । सत्पात्रदानशून्यं यत्तद्धनं धिक्पुनः पुनः ॥ ७० ॥
dhigjanma bhaktihīnānāṃ devadeve janārdane | satpātradānaśūnyaṃ yattaddhanaṃ dhikpunaḥ punaḥ || 70 ||
دیووں کے دیو جناردن سے بے بھکتی والوں کی پیدائش قابلِ ملامت ہے۔ اور وہ دولت بھی بار بار قابلِ ملامت ہے جو سَت پاتر کو دان میں نہ لگے۔

Secondary Rasa: bhakti (devotion)
It declares that life (birth) gains meaning through devotion to Janārdana, and that wealth becomes spiritually fruitful only when directed toward dharmic giving—especially charity to worthy recipients.
Bhakti is presented as the essential inner orientation: without devotion to the Supreme (Janārdana), worldly status like birth and possessions is condemned as empty, because it does not lead to purification or higher purpose.
The verse emphasizes dharmic praxis rather than a specific Vedāṅga: it highlights the applied rule of dāna—discriminating a satpātra (worthy recipient) and using wealth in a way that generates puṇya.
