Semoga Śrī Kṛṣṇa dan Gadādhara; Śrī Viṣṇupāda yang bersemayam di Prayāga; serta Nārāyaṇa, Śrī Badarīnivāsa—semuanya menganugerahkan kepadaku fajar yang mujur.

Application: Use a short morning litany: remember Kṛṣṇa/Gadādhara, then mentally visit Prayāga and Badarī; dedicate the day’s actions as offering.
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
Type: tīrtha (confluence) and Himalayan kṣetra

This verse frames the start of the day as an act of remembrance (smaraṇa) of Viṣṇu’s forms and holy abodes, seeking purity, protection, and right-mindedness for dharmic living.
While not describing rites directly, it supports the Purana’s core emphasis that devotion to Nārāyaṇa and remembrance of sacred forms/places purifies the mind—an essential foundation for auspicious rites and spiritual progress.
Recite it at sunrise as a brief daily prayer, mentally honoring Prayāga and Badarīnātha, and set an intention to act with dharma throughout the day.
