Meaning: What all I can gift(dAna), Are there a donations(aAna) equqal to worshipping hari (to the knowledge of hari)
C1: Doing a hundred crores kanYadana, giving away enormous quantities drinking water
Gifting lands when I am in my senses, are all these equal to doing dhyAna of rama?
C5: If I have holy dips in many(nAnA) sacred waters, or do penance in forests(kAnanadolu)
Or if I try to understand the shastras, are all these equal(sariyunte) to worshipping purandaravithala.
