FAQs
This verse presents darshana as the highest “fruit” of spiritual effort—when the devotee’s deepest longing and the merit of austerity culminate in direct vision of Vishnu, the Lord of the universe.
Through the narrative voice of a devotee, the text links disciplined tapas with its completion in grace: the austerity becomes truly successful not merely by effort, but because Vishnu reveals Himself.
