The Sumanā Episode: Suvrata’s Childhood Devotion and All-Activity Remembrance of Hari
योगनिद्रान्वितं कृष्णं तमहं शरणं गतः । भोजनाच्छादनेष्वेवमासने शयने द्विजः
yoganidrānvitaṃ kṛṣṇaṃ tamahaṃ śaraṇaṃ gataḥ | bhojanācchādaneṣvevamāsane śayane dvijaḥ
私は、ヨーガの眠りに没しておられるクリシュナに帰依した。ゆえに、婆羅門よ、飲食と衣服のことにおいても、また座と寝床においても、この帰依の心をもって行ずべきである。
Unclear from single-verse context (likely a narrator or interlocutor addressing a brāhmaṇa: 'dvijaḥ')
Concept: Śaraṇāgati as a life-orientation: taking refuge in Kṛṣṇa (in yoga-nidrā) should shape one’s approach to necessities—food, clothing, seat, and bed—so they become regulated, non-indulgent, and offered in spirit.
Application: Before eating, dressing, or resting, pause for a brief refuge-prayer; choose simplicity and moderation, treating comforts as entrusted resources rather than objects of identity.
