Kula-amṛta: Śiva’s Teaching to Nārada on Viṣṇu-Dhyāna and Mokṣa
यस्तु विश्वमनाद्यन्तमजमात्मनि संस्थितम् / सर्वज्ञमचलं विष्णुं सदा ध्यायेत्समुच्यते
yastu viśvamanādyantamajamātmani saṃsthitam / sarvajñamacalaṃ viṣṇuṃ sadā dhyāyetsamucyate
Namun, siapa yang senantiasa bermeditasi pada Viṣṇu—yang adalah semesta itu sendiri, tanpa awal dan akhir, tak terlahirkan, bersemayam dalam Ātman, Mahatahu dan tak tergoyahkan—ia dibebaskan.
Lord Vishnu (in instruction to Garuda/Vinata-putra)
Concept: Meditation on Vishnu as anadi-ananta, aja, atma-sthita, sarvajna, achala leads to liberation—identifying the Supreme with Self and cosmos.
Vedantic Theme: Brahman/Ishvara as immanent and transcendent; liberation through steady nididhyasana on the changeless Self-grounded Lord.
Application: Practice daily dhyana on Vishnu as the unmoving witness within; use mahavakya-style contemplation (‘He is established in the Self’) to stabilize attention beyond change.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

FAQs
This verse states that steady, continuous meditation on Viṣṇu—recognized as the all-pervading, beginningless reality—directly results in liberation (mukti).
It frames the soul’s highest path as inner realization: by fixing awareness on Viṣṇu who abides in the Self (ātmani saṃsthita), one transcends bondage and attains release.
Maintain daily remembrance/meditation on Viṣṇu (japa, dhyāna, or nāma-smaraṇa) and align conduct with steadiness and knowledge, treating devotion as a direct discipline toward freedom from fear and attachment.
