As the name indicates it is Srimadacharya's
injunctions for the right
procedures to followed in a day from morning to
night by a Vaishnava. A Vaishnava should, as soon as
he wakes up pray to Lord Vishnu, and at the close of the day, before
retiring to bed, should pray to the Lord. In between
,he should observe austere practices. The procedure for washing the
teeth, taking bath (preferably in a river or natural source of water) by
reciting 'purusha sukta','Aghamarshana sukta' etc. have been clearly
stated in this work. Then follows 'sandhyavandana', 'pooja' , taking
food,study,teaching,rest,evening pooja etc. which have all been clearly
stated for the guidance of his followers by
Srimadacharya in simple language in about forty slokas.If anyone is
fortunate to be able follow the procedures and ausreities stated in this
work, he shall be following Srimadachaya's exhortation in the
'dvadasastotra'- SANTATAM CHINTAYET ANANTAM ANTAKALE
VISHESHATAH, and that is the duty of a true Vaishnava.
