gṛhīta-viṣṇu-dīkṣāko viṣṇu-pūjā-paro naraḥ |
vaiṣṇavo 'bhihito 'bhijñair itaro 'smād avaiṣṇavaḥ
gṛhīta-viṣṇu – by accepting a viṣṇu-mantra; dīkṣākaḥ – by initiated; viṣṇu-pūjā-paraḥ – dedicated to the worship of Śrī Viṣṇu; naraḥ – a person; vaiṣṇavaḥ abhihitaḥ – is called a Vaiṣṇava; abhijñaiḥ – by the wise; itaraḥ asmād – other than him; avaiṣṇavaḥ – a non-Vaiṣṇava.
"Learned scholars have determined that a Vaiṣṇava is one who is initiated
into a Viṣṇu mantra in accordance with the regulations of śāstra,
and who is engaged in the worship of Śrī Viṣṇu. All others are known
as non-Vaiṣṇavas."
From the sloka definitions manual:
• without dīkṣā – one can not be a Vaiṣṇava (except one who have saṁskāras
from previous life)
• dīkṣā is complete when śaraṇāgati is complete (manifest in full way)
• śaraṇāgati is complete when ruci is coming
• Vaiṣṇava – only with ruci
• Kaniṣṭha – vaiṣṇava-ābhāsa
• general meaning – Vaiṣṇava is anyone who get dīkṣā
