The Greatness of Viṣṇu
Uttaṅka’s Hymn, Hari’s Manifestation, and the Boon of Bhakti
सर्वज्ञं सर्वगं शान्तं सर्वान्तर्यामिणं हरिम् । ज्ञानात्मकं ज्ञाननिधिं ज्ञानसंस्थं विभुं भजे ॥ ३० ॥
sarvajñaṃ sarvagaṃ śāntaṃ sarvāntaryāmiṇaṃ harim | jñānātmakaṃ jñānanidhiṃ jñānasaṃsthaṃ vibhuṃ bhaje || 30 ||
われはハリを礼拝する。全知にして遍在、寂静なる御方、万物の内に住まう内なる統御者(アンタリヤーミン)。その本質は智、智の宝蔵にして智に安住し、自在なる大主である。

It presents Hari as both the indwelling Antaryamin and the supreme source of knowledge, teaching that liberation comes by turning inward to the Lord who knows all and pervades all, and by worship grounded in true understanding.
Bhakti here is defined as worship of Hari with clear recognition of His attributes—omniscience, all-pervasiveness, inner rulership, and serenity—so devotion becomes steady and mature, supported by knowledge (jñāna) rather than mere emotion.
The verse emphasizes jñāna as the foundation of worship—practically aligning with Vedanga disciplines like Vyākaraṇa (precision of meaning) and Nirukta (sense of terms such as Antaryāmin), ensuring correct understanding while reciting and contemplating stuti.
