Dhvajāropaṇa and Dhvajāgopaṇa: Procedure, Stotra, and Phala (Merit) of Raising Viṣṇu’s Flag
मायासङ्गममात्रेण वदन्ति पुरुषं त्वजम् । स्वभावविमलं शुद्धं निर्विकारं निरञ्जनम् ॥ २८ ॥
māyāsaṅgamamātreṇa vadanti puruṣaṃ tvajam | svabhāvavimalaṃ śuddhaṃ nirvikāraṃ nirañjanam || 28 ||
Ce n’est que par l’association à Māyā qu’ils disent du Puruṣa qu’il est « né » ; en vérité, par nature Il est sans tache et pur—immuable et sans souillure.

Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches that birth and change belong to Māyā’s association, not to the Supreme Puruṣa; realizing the unborn, stainless, unchanging nature of the Self is central to mokṣa.
By affirming the Lord’s purity and freedom from defects, it supports bhakti grounded in right understanding: devotion is offered to the nirañjana, nirvikāra Supreme, not to a limited, conditioned entity.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught directly; the verse is primarily Vedāntic—clarifying tattva (truth) about Māyā and the unborn Puruṣa.
