Some
shlokas, by their very meanings,
allow us to infer what results will accrue from reciting them. I say ‘infer’
because, they may not bluntly say what results will accrue. shlokas which bluntly say so are few, like the ones
we saw earlier (shloka 17) and the present shloka (#20). Even here, the statement is only that
if such and such an upAsanA is done such and such a
result will accrue.
Only later commentators, who came in the sishya-paramparA (lineage
of disciples) of our Acharya have listed the specifications of the upAsanA, how they should be done, what yantra to be used, how many days the pUjA or japam should
be done and similar requirements.
