Sumanā and Somaśarmā: Tapas at the Kapilā–Revā Confluence and the Theophany of Hari
आनंदाय नमो नित्यं शुद्धाय केवलाय ते । रुद्रैर्नमितपादाय विरंचिनमिताय ते
ānaṃdāya namo nityaṃ śuddhāya kevalāya te | rudrairnamitapādāya viraṃcinamitāya te
આનંદ-સ્વરૂપ, શુદ્ધ અને કેવળ પ્રભુને નિત્ય નમસ્કાર. જેમના ચરણ રુદ્રો વંદે છે અને વિરંચિ (બ્રહ્મા) નમે છે, તેમને પ્રણામ.
Unspecified (a devotional eulogy within the narrative context)
Concept: Vishnu is Ānanda itself—pure, absolute; even the highest deities honor His lotus-feet, so the devotee should take shelter there.
Application: Practice humility by remembering social or spiritual rank is secondary to devotion; adopt a ‘pāda-smaraṇa’ habit—mentally placing oneself at the Lord’s feet before major decisions.
