द्विगुणेनामुना भक्ते फलं मूले न्यसेत्क्रमात् । तत्कृतिं च त्यजेद्विप्र मूलेन विभजेत्पुनः ॥ १७ ॥

Transliteration

dviguṇenāmunā bhakte phalaṃ mūle nyasetkramāt | tatkṛtiṃ ca tyajedvipra mūlena vibhajetpunaḥ || 17 ||

Translation

Hỡi người sùng kính, hãy từng bước đặt lợi quả thu được trở lại vào “mūla” (phần gốc) bằng cách nhân đôi nó. Rồi, hỡi brāhmaṇa, hãy bỏ tích trung gian ấy và lại phân chia (tính lại) dựa trên phần gốc.

FAQs

It emphasizes disciplined, methodical practice: spiritual “fruit” (phala) should be reinvested into one’s foundational discipline (mūla), avoiding attachment to intermediate gains and repeatedly returning to the root principle.

Bhakti here is portrayed as incremental and structured—progress is consolidated by returning results to the core devotional foundation, not by clinging to temporary milestones.

A procedural, almost mathematical rule of computation and redistribution is implied (vibhajet, dviguṇena, kramāt), reflecting a technical method akin to systematic calculation used in ritual/disciplinary frameworks.
