The Greatness of Viṣṇu
Viṣṇor Māhātmya
जन्मकोटिसहस्रेषु पुण्यं यैः समुपार्जितम् । तेषां भक्तिर्भवेच्छुद्धा देवदेवे जनार्दने ॥ ५१ ॥
janmakoṭisahasreṣu puṇyaṃ yaiḥ samupārjitam | teṣāṃ bhaktirbhavecchuddhā devadeve janārdane || 51 ||
Với những ai đã tích lũy công đức qua hàng ngàn ức kiếp sinh, lòng bhakti thanh tịnh sẽ khởi lên hướng về Janārdana—Đấng Thần của chư thần.

It teaches that śuddha-bhakti (pure devotion) to Janārdana is not accidental; it manifests when vast accumulated puṇya ripens, indicating deep spiritual maturity across many lives.
Bhakti is presented as the natural fruit of long-earned merit—when dharma, right conduct, and sacred acts mature, the heart turns effortlessly toward the God of gods, Viṣṇu (Janārdana).
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is the karmic principle of puṇya accumulation through dharmic action and worship, which becomes the ground for stable devotion.
