yastatra gatvā siddheśaṃ bhaktibhāvasamanvitaḥ | ciṃtayedvarṣamātraṃ tu kāmākṣāṃ nityadārcayan || 10 ||
جو وہاں جا کر بھکتی بھاو سے یُکت ہو کر سِدّھیش کا دھیان کرے اور کاماکشا کی نِتّیہ ایک برس تک پوجا کرے، وہ اس سادھنا کا وعدہ شدہ پھل پا لیتا ہے۔
Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches that a pilgrimage to the sacred site becomes spiritually potent when joined with sustained devotion—daily worship (nitya-arcana) and steady contemplation for an entire year.
Bhakti is shown as a lived discipline: going to the tirtha, approaching the deity with devotional mood, and maintaining regular worship and remembrance over time rather than as a one-time act.
Ritual practice (kalpa-oriented conduct) is implied through nitya-arcana and a fixed observance period (varṣa-mātra), emphasizing disciplined vrata-style worship and daily rite-regularity.
