Vāmana’s Advent, Aditi’s Hymn, Bali’s Gift, and the Mahatmya of Bhū-dāna
नमो जगत्कारणकारणाय नमोऽस्तु शब्दादिविवर्जिताय । नमोऽस्तु ते दिव्यसुखप्रदाय नमो नमो भक्तमनोगताय ॥ ७७ ॥
namo jagatkāraṇakāraṇāya namo'stu śabdādivivarjitāya | namo'stu te divyasukhapradāya namo namo bhaktamanogatāya || 77 ||
প্রণাম তোমায়, যিনি জগতের কারণেরও কারণ। প্রণাম তোমায়, যিনি শব্দাদি ইন্দ্রিয়বিষয় থেকে অতীত। প্রণাম তোমায়, যিনি দিব্য সুখ দান করেন। ভক্তের মনে অধিষ্ঠিত তোমায় বারংবার প্রণাম॥

FAQs
It praises the Lord as the ultimate metaphysical source—“the cause of causes”—who transcends sensory description yet becomes intimately present within the devotee’s inner consciousness, granting divine bliss.
Bhakti is shown as the means by which the transcendent Lord becomes accessible: though beyond sound and sensory categories, He is “entered into the devotee’s mind,” implying remembrance, love, and inner worship as direct spiritual practice.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana, Jyotisha, or Kalpa ritual procedure) is taught in this verse; it functions primarily as stuti (praise) with Vedantic framing—pointing to the Lord’s transcendence beyond śabda (sound) and sensory objectification.
