Narada
Vrata: Dvādaśī-vrata
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It elevates Dvādaśī as a decisive sādhanā that supports both temporal prosperity and post-death spiritual welfare, promising kṣema (secure well-being) through its observance.
By praising a sacred tithi as a transformative practice, it frames time-based vrata as a concrete expression of devotion—disciplining life around dharmic observance that supports Vishnu-oriented piety.
It relies on calendrical discipline—tithi-based observance—linking to Jyotiṣa (Vedāṅga astrology/astronomy) for identifying Dvādaśī and timing vrata practices correctly.
