अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः

Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic

अनादिनिधनं लोके चक्रहस्तं च मां मुने । अनुध्यानान्मम मुने नैतद्‌ वचनमन्यथा

anādinidhanaṁ loke cakrahastaṁ ca māṁ mune | anudhyānān mama mune naitad vacanam anyathā ||

Waiśampāyana berkata: “Wahai resi, dengan senantiasa bermeditasi kepadaku, engkau akan melihatku di dunia ini sebagai Tuhan yang tanpa awal dan tanpa akhir, dengan cakra di tanganku. Ucapanku ini, wahai resi, tidak akan pernah terbukti sebaliknya—takkan pernah menjadi dusta.”

Educational Q&A

Sustained meditation (anudhyāna) on the Lord leads to direct experiential vision of the divine form; the verse also emphasizes the reliability of divine assurance—true contemplation yields a true result.

Vaiśaṃpāyana reports a promise addressed to a sage: if the sage continually contemplates the Lord, he will see the beginningless, endless deity in the recognizable Viṣṇu form holding the discus, and this promise will not fail.
