Viṣṇor Māhātmya
ये यजन्ति स्पृहाशून्या हरिभक्तान् हरिं तथा । त एव भुवनं सर्वं पुनन्ति स्वाङिघ्रपांशुना ॥ ६४ ॥
ye yajanti spṛhāśūnyā haribhaktān hariṃ tathā | ta eva bhuvanaṃ sarvaṃ punanti svāṅighrapāṃśunā || 64 ||
Diejenigen, die frei von Verlangen die Bhaktas Haris wie auch Hari selbst verehren, sie allein läutern die ganze Welt mit dem Staub ihrer eigenen Füße.

FAQs

No specific Vedanga technique is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is dharmic conduct—sadhu-sanga and respectful service to devotees—as a lived discipline supporting bhakti.
