प्रसादञ्च कुरुष्वात्र ब्रूह्यागमनकारणम् ।
देवानामिव संसर्गो भवतोऽभ्युदयो महान् ।
केनास्मद्भाग्यगुरुणा आनीतो दृष्टिगोचरम् ॥
prasādañ ca kuruṣvātra brūhy āgamanakāraṇam | devānām iva saṃsargo bhavato 'bhyudayo mahān | kenāsmadbhāgyaguruṇā ānīto dṛṣṭigocaram ||

FAQs

This verse belongs to the narrative/dialogue framework (ākhyāna) rather than directly to sarga (creation), pratisarga, vaṃśa, manvantara, or vaṃśānucarita. It functions as connective tissue that introduces or advances the discourse in which those topics may later appear.
‘Being brought into the range of sight’ (dṛṣṭigocaram) can be read as the fruition of puṇya enabling darśana of a spiritually potent presence. The ‘weight’ (guru) of fortune suggests that merit has a gravitating force, drawing one toward elevating company, which in turn accelerates inner ‘abhyudaya’ (uplift).
