Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches a tīrtha-based sādhana: pilgrimage to Śālakinī, purification through sacred bathing, and focused worship to attain a chosen spiritual or worldly aim.
Bhakti is shown as practical devotion—approaching a holy place, performing snāna, and offering reverent worship (samarcana) to Hari, here honored along with Hara, emphasizing harmony in devotion.
Ritual procedure (kalpa-style practice) is implied: the sequence of tīrtha-gamana (going), snāna (purificatory bath), and arcana (formal worship) as a disciplined method for siddhi/desired results.
