噢诸牟尼之最胜者，前往唵迦罗伊湿伐罗（Oṃkāreśvara）之朝圣确应践行。于彼处得以礼拜殊为难得，而仅仅得见（darśana）那圣地，亦能灭除罪业。

By praising worship (arcana) and darshana at a revered shrine, the verse frames devotion as embodied practice—going on pilgrimage, seeking sacred vision, and performing reverent worship as accessible forms of bhakti.
The verse primarily emphasizes ritual praxis (arcana) and tirtha-yatra as dharmic observances rather than a specific Vedanga; it supports applied dharma through prescribed pilgrimage and worship.
