Kṛtayuga Description and Instruction on Royal Dharma
दृष्टवा परिमितं तस्य प्रभावममितौजस:,उस अमित तेजस्वी शिशुका अनन्त प्रभाव देखकर मैं यत्नपूर्वक उसके समीप गया और विनीतभावसे हाथ जोड़कर सम्पूर्ण भूतोंके आत्मा उस कमलनयन देवताका दर्शन किया
dṛṣṭvā parimitaṃ tasya prabhāvam amitaujasā | sa amit-tejasvī śiśukaḥ ananta-prabhāvaḥ dṛṣṭvāhaṃ yatnapūrvakaṃ tasya samīpaṃ gataḥ | vinīta-bhāvena hastāñjalim kṛtvā sarva-bhūtānām ātmānaṃ taṃ kamala-nayanaṃ devatāṃ dadarśa ||
その無量の威力を宿す者の、しかも節度あるかのようでいて比類なき力を見、尽きることなき光輝に満つる幼子を仰ぎ見て、われは慎重に心を定めて近づいた。へりくだって合掌し、蓮華の眼をもつ神—あらゆる生きとし生けるものの内なる自己—を拝し、戒め整えた信敬をもってその聖なる臨在を讃えた。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined humility before the sacred: true recognition of divine power leads not to fear or pride but to reverent approach (yatna) and respectful conduct (vinīta-bhāva, añjali), acknowledging the divinity as the inner Self of all beings.
The narrator (speaking as Vaiśampāyana) describes witnessing an extraordinarily radiant, childlike divine manifestation. He then approaches carefully and, with folded hands, receives darśana of the lotus-eyed deity identified as the Self of all creatures.
