The fifth symptom of anisthita bhakti  is niyamaksama, vowing to serve Krishna. While visaya-saigara refers to making vows to renounce whatever is unfavorable to bhakti, niyamaksama means making vows to increase one’s service, such as chanting twenty-five rounds on Ekadasi, but being unable to keep them.
