Shloka 65

Sṛṣṭi-krama, Pratibimba-Upādhi, and Viṣṇu as Primary Brahman

with Pralaya and Nāma-Stuti

Devanagari script

दैत्यादिकान्दुः खमतीन्ह यस्मात्तमस्यन्धेसर्वदा चित्स्वरूपी / तस्मादाहुर्दुः स्वरूपी हरिस्त्वं दुः खस्वरूपात्त्वं च दुः खी हरे त्वम्

Transliteration

daityādikānduḥ khamatīnha yasmāttamasyandhesarvadā citsvarūpī / tasmādāhurduḥ svarūpī haristvaṃ duḥ khasvarūpāttvaṃ ca duḥ khī hare tvam

Translation

ダイティヤらの苦を超越するがゆえに、無明の盲き闇のただ中にあっても、汝は常に清浄なる意識そのものとして在す。ゆえに人は言う、「ハリよ、汝は悲しみを終わらせる相である」と。さらに苦しむ者の境涯を引き受けたまうがゆえに、ハリよ、汝もまた「彼らの苦を分かち合う」と語られる。

Speaker

Lord Vishnu (speaking to Garuda/Vinata-putra)

Philosophical Teaching

Concept: Hari is eternally of the nature of consciousness and transcends duḥkha, yet is praised as the one who ends sorrow and compassionately identifies with sufferers.

Vedantic Theme: Īśvara’s transcendence (pāramārthika) alongside compassionate immanence (vyāvahārika); grace as duḥkha-kṣaya.

Application: When overwhelmed, remember the divine as untainted awareness; cultivate trust that compassion meets suffering; practice nāma-smaraṇa to shift from ‘andhatamas’ to clarity.

Verse Rasa

Primary Rasa: shanta

Secondary Rasa: karuna

Cross References

Related Themes: Garuda Purana: repeated portrayal of Viṣṇu as śaraṇya and duḥkha-hara in hymns and consolatory passages to the bereaved; Garuda Purana (Preta-kalpa): emphasis that remembrance of Hari protects amid fear and suffering

FAQs

Here it indicates that Hari is intimately connected with the removal of sorrow—so close to the suffering beings that he is described in relation to their duḥkha, while remaining essentially pure consciousness.

It contrasts blind tamas (the obscuring darkness) with Hari’s cit-svarūpa nature, teaching that the divine reality is not overcome by ignorance even when beings are trapped in it.

Cultivate remembrance and devotion to the higher consciousness in times of distress, and practice compassion—helping others in sorrow while staying anchored in clarity and dharma.
