सर्वकामफलावाप्त्यै वक्षोलक्षितकौस्तुभः । अतसीकुसुमश्यामः कमलामललोचनः
sarvakāmaphalāvāptyai vakṣolakṣitakaustubhaḥ | atasīkusumaśyāmaḥ kamalāmalalocanaḥ
सभी धर्मसम्मत कामनाओं के फल की प्राप्ति हेतु उस प्रभु का स्मरण करना चाहिए, जिनके वक्षस्थल पर कौस्तुभ मणि विराजती है, जो अतसी-पुष्प के समान श्याम हैं और जिनके नेत्र निर्मल कमल के समान हैं।
Brahmā (deduced; Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa narration style)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā-kṣetra (Hari-smaraṇa)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Close, iconic vision of Viṣṇu: Kaustubha gem shining on the chest, deep blue-black complexion like atasi flower, immaculate lotus eyes; a devotee in Ayodhyā remembers Him for dharmic wish-fulfillment.
Meditation on the auspicious form of Hari aligns desires with dharma and yields their purified fruits.
Ayodhyā, where remembrance of Hari is praised as especially fruitful.
Implicit prescription: smaraṇa/dhyāna (remembering and meditating) on Viṣṇu’s divine form and marks.
