Performing karmas purified by his intentions, the bhakti of Bharata, filled with śuddha-sattva, daily increased to higher levels of intensity. He directed his bhakti to the Lord situated in the heart, to the Brahman, and to Bhagavān, Vāsudeva, who is also seen the Lord of Vaikuṇṭha, endowed Śrīvatsa, Kaustubha, garland, cakra, conch and club, shining in the hearts of his devotees with his human form. This action particularly purifies the heart of the performer of karmas. Ṛṣabhadeva instructed his other sons to worship Bharata (SB 5.5.20). However, since he already had a pure heart, it is redundant to say that he became purified by these acts. Having a pure heart, he performed acts which were pure. Or by this method he purified all actions. The natural bhakti of Bharata, who was śuddha-sattva, increased in strength daily on a higher level, like the Gaṅgā which moves with force, purifying the world. He had bhakti for Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, who is worshipped as Paramātmā, Brahman, and Bhagavān. He is situated in the space of the heart as Paramātmā, the object of meditation of the yogīs. The Paramātmā with a form is described: kecit sva-dehāntar-hṛdayāvakāśe prādeśa-mātraṁ puruṣaṁ vasantam | catur-bhujaṁ kaṣja-rathāṅga-śaṅkha- gadā-dharaṁ dhāraṇayā smaranti || Some yogīs meditate upon the Paramātmā measuring one pradeśa, who is residing in the heart within the body, and who holds the lotus, wheel, conch and club in his four hands. SB 2.2.8 Brahman is worshipped by the jṣānīs, and Bhagavān is worshipped by the devotees. Though the form of Kṛṣṇa is Bhagavān, the form of the Lord of Vaikuṇṭha is described here since it is famous in the scriptures. This form shines in the heart marked permanently with that human form, as if it were a painting, in devotees like Nārada.
