सद्गुणाः कर्मवीर्य्याणि कृतानि विष्णुना पुरा । लीलावताररूपैस्तु शृण्वन्ति परया मुदा
sadguṇāḥ karmavīryyāṇi kṛtāni viṣṇunā purā | līlāvatārarūpaistu śṛṇvanti parayā mudā
Avec une joie suprême, ils écoutent les nobles vertus et les hauts faits héroïques accomplis jadis par Viṣṇu, manifestés dans Ses descentes ludiques (avatāra).
Sūta (deduced from section context)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Listeners gathered as a storyteller recounts Viṣṇu’s avatāras; scenes of heroic deeds appear like living tableaux—Nṛsiṃha, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa—while the audience rejoices.
Devotional listening to Viṣṇu’s virtues and avatāra-līlās is itself a joy-filled path that purifies and elevates the heart.
Dvārakā is the implied sacred setting in this Māhātmya, where Hari-kathā naturally flourishes among devotees.
Śravaṇa (listening to sacred narratives of Viṣṇu’s avatāras) is highlighted as a devotional practice.
