Yayāti’s Vaiṣṇava Rule and the Earth Made Like Vaikuṇṭha
with Viṣṇu Name-Invocation
भूतले तादृशोच्चारं प्रकुर्वंति च मानवाः । उभयोर्लोकयोर्विप्र एकभावः प्रदृश्यते
bhūtale tādṛśoccāraṃ prakurvaṃti ca mānavāḥ | ubhayorlokayorvipra ekabhāvaḥ pradṛśyate
পৃথিৱীত মানুহেও তেনেদৰেই উচ্চাৰ কৰে; হে ব্ৰাহ্মণ, দুয়োটা লোকত একে ভাব প্ৰকাশ পায়।

Application: Cultivate consistent, respectful utterance of the divine name—alone or in community—so that one’s home and mind take on Vaikuṇṭha-like qualities (purity, fearlessness, harmony).
