तावपश्यत् स भगवाननादिनिधनो&च्युत: । एकस्तत्रा भवद् बिन्दुर्मध्वाभो रुचिरप्रभ:
tāv apaśyat sa bhagavān anādinidhano 'cyutaḥ | ekas tatrābhavad bindur madhvābho ruciraprabhaḥ ||
Kemudian Sang Bhagavān, Acyuta—tanpa awal dan tanpa akhir—memandangnya. Di sana tampak satu tetes saja, berwarna madu, memancarkan kilau yang elok.

Educational Q&A
The verse evokes the eternal nature of the Divine (anādi-nidhana, Acyuta) and uses the image of a single radiant bindu to suggest how vast realities can be intimated through a subtle, concentrated symbol—pointing to metaphysical origins and the presence of order and luminosity even in the smallest manifestation.
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that the Blessed Lord, Acyuta, beholds a scene in which a single honey-hued, beautifully radiant drop (bindu) appears there—an image that typically signals a significant metaphysical or cosmological moment in the surrounding discourse.
