Nên thực hành punar-nyāsa của Gāyatrī cùng các vyāhṛti. Nhờ vậy lìa mọi tội lỗi, hành giả đạt sāyujya—hợp nhất với đức Viṣṇu.
Not specified in the provided excerpt (context needed from surrounding verses).
Concept: Ritually embodied mantra (nyāsa) with vyāhṛtis destroys sin and leads to Vishnu-union.
Application: Add a brief, consistent nyāsa practice (as taught) to daily japa; pair it with ethical restraint so ‘pāpa-vinirmukti’ is not merely ritual but lived.

FAQs
It prescribes performing punar-nyāsa (re-application of mantra placement) of the Gāyatrī mantra along with the vyāhṛtis.
The verse states that one becomes free from all sins and attains Viṣṇu-sāyujya—union with Viṣṇu, a form of liberation.
Disciplined mantra-practice and ritual recollection (nyāsa) are presented as purificatory, aligning the practitioner toward liberation rather than wrongdoing.
