Dhvaja-Dhāraṇa Mahātmyam: Sumati–Satyamatī, Humility, and Deliverance by Hari’s Messengers
एषा च नर्तनं चक्रे तथैव ध्वजरोषणम् । अन्तकाले विष्णुगृहे तेन निष्पापतां गतौ ॥ ७० ॥
eṣā ca nartanaṃ cakre tathaiva dhvajaroṣaṇam | antakāle viṣṇugṛhe tena niṣpāpatāṃ gatau || 70 ||
她曾起舞,又同样使幢旗高举(或令旗杆作响)。临终之际,凭此善行,她得至毗湿奴之居所,离罪清净。

It teaches that even simple, heartfelt devotional acts offered in connection with Viṣṇu—such as sacred dance and honoring His banner—generate puṇya that can remove sin and lead the soul to Viṣṇu’s abode at death.
Bhakti is shown as accessible and action-based: physical expressions of devotion (nartana, dhvaja-sevā) performed with reverence become spiritually transformative and culminate in remembrance and divine attainment at life’s end.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is directly taught; the practical takeaway is ritual-devotional practice (upacāra/sevā) within Vaiṣṇava worship—using sanctioned acts to accrue merit and purify conduct.
