インドラデュムナ・マハーラージャは家住の生活を退き、クラーアチャラ（マラヤ丘陵）の小さな庵に住んだ。彼はジャター（結髪）をたくわえ、苦行に励みつつ常にハリを礼拝していた。ある時、沈黙の誓いを守りながら、アチュタへの礼拝に全身全霊で没入し、神への愛の恍惚に浸っていた。
FAQs
This verse presents mauna-vrata as a supportive discipline for focused worship—helping a devotee or sage become self-controlled and attentive while honoring Lord Hari.
Acyuta means “infallible” or “never deviating.” Here it emphasizes that the Lord remains perfectly reliable and unchanged, worthy of steady worship and surrender.
Set a regular time for sādhana, reduce distractions (including intentional silence), begin with cleanliness, and offer focused worship or prayer to the Supreme Lord with steadiness.
