ここにおいて主は芳香となり、ここにおいて主は業の果を「煮て」（熟させ）給う。さらに「主は汝を覆い護る」と言われる。主はまた、その御手が行為のうちに鳴り響くお方である。かく念じ奉れば、「バヴァーン」（主）は世の生成を超えて渡らせ給う。

Concept: Smaraṇa of ‘Bhavān’ as the saving means to cross beyond bhava (worldly becoming); the Lord as protector and ripener of karmic results.

Application: Daily nāma-smaraṇa/japa; recall the Lord during fear and transition; interpret life’s ‘ripening’ as karma under divine governance rather than chaos.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

FAQs
This verse states that remembrance of the Lord—described as protector and powerful actor—helps one “cross” bhava (worldly becoming), pointing to smaraṇa as a practical means toward liberation.
By using the image of “cooking/ripening” (pacan), it indicates that experiences in the world are the maturation of karmic results, while divine refuge is presented as the means to transcend their binding force.
Cultivate daily remembrance of Vishnu through mantra/japa and ethical action, treating life’s results as karma ripening while relying on dharma and devotion for inner protection and freedom from attachment.
