Maṅgalācaraṇa, Naimiṣāraṇya-Sabhā, Sūta-Āhvāna, and Narada Purāṇa-Māhātmya
कथं हरौ मनुष्याणां भक्तिरव्यभिचारिणी । केन सिध्येत च फलं कर्मणस्त्रिविधात्मनः ॥ १३ ॥
kathaṃ harau manuṣyāṇāṃ bhaktiravyabhicāriṇī | kena sidhyeta ca phalaṃ karmaṇastrividhātmanaḥ || 13 ||
人间如何生起对哈利(毗湿奴)不偏不移、纯一无杂的奉爱(bhakti)?又凭何法门,使三类业(karma)之果得以圆满成就?
Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: jijnasa
It frames the core inquiry of the text’s teaching: how humans can cultivate exclusive devotion to Hari and how such devotion relates to the maturation (siddhi) of karmic results, pointing toward dharma aligned with liberation.
By asking specifically for “avyabhicāriṇī bhakti” (unwavering devotion), the verse highlights bhakti as a disciplined, single-point orientation to Hari rather than a mixed or wavering practice, setting up instruction on stable devotional life.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is named; the verse is a doctrinal question about karma and its threefold classification, which later connects to practical dharma and ritual conduct (kalpa) in a broader sense.
