It affirms that devotion becomes ritually grounded when directed to authorized supports of worship—yantra, Śālagrāma, sacred gems, or a properly installed image—so that bhakti is expressed through vidhi (scriptural procedure).
It presents bhakti as practical and embodied: worship is not merely internal but performed through sanctified forms (especially Śālagrāma and duly installed pratimā) with reverent, rule-based offerings.
Ritual precision—especially pratiṣṭhā (proper installation) and the correct use of yantra and consecrated icons—reflects applied Kalpa (the Vedāṅga dealing with ritual procedure).
