Prapatti and moksha are associated with each other, while nitya karma and moksha are not. But nitya karma is a common injunction, a rule. Non-performance of nitya karma will accrue sin and only after undergoing the resultant punishment, will one be able to attain moksha. Like how telling lies and stealing are sins, so is not performing the nitya karma. One who has undergone prapatti must not lie or steal or commit other types of sins; similarly, that person must continue to perform nitya karma. Prapatti is a special means for attaining moksha; for which one must not transgress the common law.
