The Recitation of the Thousand Names of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa (Yugala-Sahasranāma) and Śaraṇāgati-Dharma
शिखिपिच्छलसच्चूडा स्वर्णचंपकभूषिता । कुंकुमालक्तकस्तूरीमंडिता चापराजिता ॥ १७८ ॥
śikhipicchalasaccūḍā svarṇacaṃpakabhūṣitā | kuṃkumālaktakastūrīmaṃḍitā cāparājitā || 178 ||
សក់នាងតុបតែងដោយមកុដស្លាបក្ងោកយ៉ាងល្អ; នាងពាក់អលង្ការផ្កាចម្បកមាស; ហើយត្រូវបានលម្អដោយកុಂಕុម សារធាតុលាក់ក្រហម និងក្លិនកស្តូរី—ភ្លឺរលោង មិនអាចឈ្នះបាន។

The verse functions as a dhyāna-style description: by contemplating the deity’s auspicious ornaments and purity-symbols (gold, campaka, kuṃkuma, kastūrī), the practitioner stabilizes devotion and focuses the mind for ritual or recitation.
Bhakti here is expressed through reverent visualization and praise (stuti/dhyāna): describing the deity’s splendor is a way to remember (smaraṇa) and adore (pūjana-bhāva) the divine form, deepening single-pointed attention.
It reflects ritual-technical language used in worship—materials and adornments (dravya, anulepana like kuṃkuma and kastūrī, decorative bhūṣaṇa), supporting correct pūjā procedure and visualization conventions.
