FAQs
It teaches that devotion (bhakti) multiplies the fruit of action: when deeds are done steadily with devotion, the resulting puṇya is described as limitless, elevating ordinary work into spiritual merit.
Bhakti is shown as the inner force that sanctifies action; the verse emphasizes continuity (satataṃ) and heartfelt devotion (bhaktyā) as the key that turns any consistent activity into an inexhaustible source of merit.
No specific Vedanga (e.g., Śikṣā, Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is ethical: intention and devotional orientation can convert even obligatory or paid service into puṇya-karma.
