The Liberation of the Lizard
Godhā-vimukti
ततोऽहं प्रणता भूत्वा पद्भ्यां न्यस्यांगलीयकम् । मृदुकांचनसंभूतं अतिरिक्तप्रभान्वितम् ॥ २४ ॥
tato'haṃ praṇatā bhūtvā padbhyāṃ nyasyāṃgalīyakam | mṛdukāṃcanasaṃbhūtaṃ atiriktaprabhānvitam || 24 ||
Entonces, inclinándome con reverencia, deposité a sus pies un anillo—hecho de oro suave y dotado de un resplandor extraordinario.

It highlights bhakti expressed as humility (praṇāma) and service (pāda-sevā), where even a simple offering becomes spiritually meaningful when placed reverently at the feet of the revered one.
Bhakti is shown as an embodied act—bowing and offering—signifying surrender, gratitude, and honoring the divine or saintly presence through respectful giving.
Primarily kalpa-based ritual etiquette is implied: proper gestures of reverence (praṇāma) and the correct manner of making an offering (nyāsa at the feet) in a sacred setting.
