संसारबन्धनात्को ऽपि मुक्तिमिच्छन्समाहितः / अनन्तमव्ययं देवं विष्णं विश्वप्रतिष्ठितम् / विश्वेश्वरमजं विष्णुं संदा ध्यायन्विमुच्यते
saṃsārabandhanātko 'pi muktimicchansamāhitaḥ / anantamavyayaṃ devaṃ viṣṇaṃ viśvapratiṣṭhitam / viśveśvaramajaṃ viṣṇuṃ saṃdā dhyāyanvimucyate
Cualquiera que, con la mente recogida, desee liberarse de las ataduras del saṃsāra—meditando sin cesar en Viṣṇu, el Infinito e Imperecedero, el Dios en quien el universo se sostiene, Señor de todo, el No Nacido—alcanza la liberación.
Lord Vishnu (in discourse to Garuda/Vinata-putra)
Concept: With collected mind, meditate constantly on Viṣṇu—Ananta, Avyaya, Aja, Viśveśvara, the support of the universe—to be freed from saṃsāra.
Vedantic Theme: Brahman as the immutable substratum (adhiṣṭhāna) of the world; dhyāna on the eternal (nitya) dissolves identification with the transient (anitya).
Application: Cultivate samādhāna (collectedness) via breath regulation and sense-restraint, then contemplate these attributes as a structured dhyāna-ladder: Ananta → Avyaya → Viśva-pratiṣṭhā → Viśveśvara → Aja.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: vira
Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.232.15-17 (same refrain and saṃsāra-bandhana theme)
This verse states that steady, continual meditation on Vishnu—described as infinite, imperishable, and the foundation of the universe—directly leads to release from saṃsāra.
Moksha is presented as freedom from worldly bondage attained through a composed mind (samāhita) and constant contemplation (sadā dhyāna) of the unborn, universal Lord Vishnu.
Cultivate daily, consistent remembrance/meditation on Vishnu with mental steadiness; align choices with liberation-oriented values rather than attachment-driven habits.
