य आशु हृदयग्रन्थिं निर्जिहीर्षु: परात्मन: । विधिनोपचरेद् देवं तन्त्रोक्तेन च केशवम् ॥ ४७ ॥
ya āśu hṛdaya-granthiṁ nirjihīrṣuḥ parātmanaḥ vidhinopacared devaṁ tantroktena ca keśavam
霊魂を縛る偽我の結び目、すなわち「心の結節」を速やかに断ち切りたい者は、タントラなどのヴェーダ文献に説かれる規定に従い、至上主ケーシャヴァを礼拝すべきである。
The Vedic literatures contain mysterious descriptions of the Absolute Truth that stimulate philosophical speculation. The Vedas also offer heavenly rewards for the performance of ritualistic ceremonies. But as stated in verse 44 of this chapter such jñāna-kāṇḍa and karma-kāṇḍa sections of the Vedas are bālānām anuśāsanam; that is, because less intelligent or childish persons are addicted to mental speculation and fruitive activity, these sections of the Vedas are meant to attract such persons to take shelter of the Vedic injunctions for gradual promotion to the perfect stage of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
FAQs
This verse says the knot of the heart is quickly removed by worshiping the Supreme Lord Keśava according to proper scriptural procedure—regulated devotional service as taught in the Tantras.
Because regulated, authorized worship disciplines the mind and senses and focuses devotion on the Supreme Lord; such methodical bhakti is presented here as an effective means to uproot deep inner bondage.
Adopt a consistent, rule-based devotional routine—such as daily prayer, mantra-japa, and respectful deity/altar worship—guided by authentic teachings, so devotion becomes steady and transformative.
