Mokṣopāya: Bhakti-rooted Jñāna and the Aṣṭāṅga Yoga of Viṣṇu-Meditation
बिभ्रतं तुलसीमालां कौस्तुभेन विराजितम् । श्रीवत्सवक्षसं देवं सुरासुरनमस्कृतम् ॥ ३६ ॥
bibhrataṃ tulasīmālāṃ kaustubhena virājitam | śrīvatsavakṣasaṃ devaṃ surāsuranamaskṛtam || 36 ||
Je contemplai le Seigneur portant une guirlande de tulasī, resplendissant du joyau Kaustubha; sur sa poitrine se trouvait la marque de Śrīvatsa, et il recevait les salutations des dieux comme des asuras.
Nārada (describing the vision of Lord Viṣṇu)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti (devotion)
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta (wonder)
It presents Viṣṇu’s recognizable devotional marks—tulasī, Kaustubha, and Śrīvatsa—so the devotee can fix the mind on a concrete, sacred form (saguṇa-upāsanā) that naturally awakens bhakti and reverence.
By highlighting tulasī and the Lord’s auspicious emblems, it points to loving remembrance and worship of Viṣṇu through His attributes—an accessible bhakti practice centered on darśana, nāma-smaraṇa, and pūjā.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught directly; the verse functions more as a dhyāna/pūjā descriptor used in ritual recitation and iconographic recognition within Vaiṣṇava practice.
