The Origin of the Gaṅgā and the Gods’ Defeat Caused by Bali
सैवावशिष्टा जननी सुराणामब्दाच्छतादच्युतसक्तचिता । संरक्षिता विष्णुसुदर्शनेन दैत्यान्तकेन स्वजनानुकम्पिना ॥ ५२ ॥
saivāvaśiṣṭā jananī surāṇāmabdācchatādacyutasaktacitā | saṃrakṣitā viṣṇusudarśanena daityāntakena svajanānukampinā || 52 ||
केवल वही—देवों की जननी—अच्युत में आसक्त चित्त वाली—शेष रही; और अपने जनों पर करुणा करने वाले, दैत्यों के संहारक विष्णु के सुदर्शन ने उसे सौ वर्षों तक सुरक्षित रखा।

It highlights that unwavering devotion to Acyuta (Viṣṇu) aligns one with His protective grace—symbolized by Sudarśana—especially amid hostile, adharma-driven forces.
Bhakti is shown as single-pointed attachment of the mind (acyuta-sakta-cittā); such steadiness draws the Lord’s compassionate protection, portraying God as personally responsive to devotees.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is theological—Sudarśana represents divine safeguarding, reinforcing dharmic confidence rather than ritual or technical instruction.
