FAQs
Viriñci is a traditional epithet of Brahmā, the creator figure, here described as becoming pleased (granting grace) upon being praised.
It highlights that sincere, mind-centered prayer and praise (stuti) lead to divine favor (prasāda), enabling the fulfillment of worthy aims.
Even within the Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa’s cosmological setting, the verse foregrounds devotion expressed as praise and supplication, presenting grace as the fruit of reverent approach.
