ղdzś (तपोमिश्र) refers to one of the four kinds of bhakti (devotionalism), as discussed in chapter 7 of the (first part of the) Śṇḍⲹṃh: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 3600 Sanskrit verses dealing with devotion towards Kṛṣṇa who is identified with the Supreme, as well as ethical behavior and pious practices to be observed by devotees (bhaktas).—Description of the chapter [󲹰پ-ū貹-Ծū貹ṇa]: [...] Those who are solely devoted to Kṛṣṇa are “Ekāntin� only because of the merit accrued by themselves in previous births. Such ṇa-type worship as these folks manifest is, however, but an instrument leading toward the even more desirable Ծṇa-type of worship (33). Indeed there are four kinds of bhakti-𱹴dzپDzԲ�kriyāmiśra, tapomiśra, ṇaś and Ծṇa—and all we do in all our lives merely eventuates in such bhakti. The experience of Ծṇabhakti is man’s final reward; Hari Himself only acts as the director [󲹲Բ] to this goal (34-37).
