नमः पुष्ट्यै नमस्तुष्ट्यै नमः सर्वार्थसंपदे । एवं संपूज्य गोविंदमनंगात्मकमीश्वरम्
namaḥ puṣṭyai namastuṣṭyai namaḥ sarvārthasaṃpade | evaṃ saṃpūjya goviṃdamanaṃgātmakamīśvaram
プシュティ(Puṣṭi・滋養)に礼拝し、トゥシュティ(Tuṣṭi・満足)に礼拝し、あらゆる繁栄と人生の目的を授ける御方に礼拝する。かくして、アナンガ(Anaṅga・無身の愛)を本質とする主、ゴーヴィンダを正しく供養して(次へ進む)。

Concept: All prosperity and puruṣārthas culminate in worship of Govinda; nourishment and contentment are seen as divine energies oriented toward the Lord.
Application: Begin daily actions with salutations that reframe ‘needs’ (food, satisfaction, success) as gifts to be received gratefully and offered back through worship and ethical living.
Primary Rasa: shanta

Visual Art Cues: {"scene_description":"A sanctum-like ritual space where Govinda is worshipped as the source of nourishment and contentment: a serene Vishnu form with gentle smile, lotus and conch, while personified Puṣṭi and Tuṣṭi appear as luminous attendants offering grains and a lamp. The air feels fragrant with sandal and incense, and the devotee’s folded hands anchor the scene in quiet devotion.","primary_figures":["Govinda (Vishnu)","Puṣṭi (personified nourishment)","Tuṣṭi (personified contentment)","devotee/priest"],"setting":"Domestic altar or small temple garbhagṛha with lotus motifs, offering trays of flowers, rice, and lamps; subtle cosmic lotus imagery in the background referencing the Padma origin theme.","lighting_mood":"temple lamp-lit","color_palette":["sapphire blue","lotus pink","gold leaf","sandalwood beige","emerald green"],"tanjore_prompt":"Tanjore painting style: Govinda seated on a lotus throne with conch and discus, halo rendered in heavy gold leaf, Puṣṭi and Tuṣṭi as jeweled attendants holding a sheaf of rice and a lamp; rich crimson and emerald drapery, gem-studded ornaments, ornate arch (prabhāvali) with lotus carvings, devotional namaskāra posture in the foreground.","pahari_prompt":"Pahari miniature style: delicate Govinda with soft facial features seated on a pale lotus, Puṣṭi and Tuṣṭi standing gracefully with offerings; cool, lyrical palette with gentle gradients, fine floral borders, a quiet courtyard shrine with small oil lamps and incense smoke curling into a pale sky.","kerala_mural_prompt":"Kerala mural style: bold black outlines and stylized large eyes for Govinda, flat yet vibrant natural pigments; Puṣṭi and Tuṣṭi in symmetrical composition holding rice and lamp, lotus medallions and temple wall patterns behind, dominant reds/yellows/greens with a radiant aura.","pichwai_prompt":"Pichwai cloth painting style: Krishna-Govinda centered amid lotus motifs and ornate floral borders, Puṣṭi and Tuṣṭi as gopī-like attendants offering grains and garlands; deep indigo background with gold detailing, hanging lamps, and intricate mandala-like lotus around the deity."}

Sandhi Resolution Notes: नमस्तुष्ट्यै = नमः + तुष्ट्यै (विसर्ग-सन्धिः); सर्वार्थसंपदे = सर्वार्थ + संपदे; गोविंदमनंगात्मकमीश्वरम् = गोविंदम् + अनंगात्मकम् + ईश्वरम् (अकार-सन्धिः/अनुस्वार).
They function as auspicious divine qualities—prosperity that sustains life (puṣṭi) and inner satisfaction (tuṣṭi)—framing worship as both material well-being and spiritual fulfillment under Govinda’s grace.
It presents Govinda as the inner principle of love and attraction that is “bodiless” (anaṅga)—not merely worldly desire, but the subtle, spiritual power that draws beings toward devotion and divine union.
The verse models a bhakti attitude: honoring divine virtues (prosperity and contentment) and then offering complete worship to Govinda, implying that life’s aims are best pursued when grounded in devotion and inner satisfaction rather than restless craving.
