When you say it doesn't need to be read as a liturgy... Is that meaning visualizing all the steps as it explains completes ones commitment ?

Does this then hold the same for parts of sadhana which are descriptions of visualizations in English in between the Sanskrit mantras, one can proceed in that way instead of reading he liturgy verbatim every time ?

english speakers tend to recite parts of sadhanas that are normally not read aloud. the sadhana is supoosed to be performed with body speech and mind

I have heard that one of the important points of this is to remind yourself thoughout the day to keep your morality and to restore the vows.

There is a version, only four lines in length!
With such a small commitment, you could
recite it 12 times or more and more than
satisfy the promise. Relax into the practices
and prayers you enjoy.
