ಅವನು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ರೋಗಗಳನ್ನು ಹರಣಮಾಡುವವನು; ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಗ್ರಹದೋಷಗಳನ್ನು ನಿವಾರಿಸುವವನು. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪಾಪಗಳನ್ನು ನಾಶಮಾಡಿ ಭುಕ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಮುಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ನೀಡುವವನು.
Lord Vishnu (in dialogue with Garuda/Vinatā-putra)
Concept: Viṣṇu-mantra as sarva-doṣa-hara: removes physical illness, astral afflictions, and sin; grants both enjoyment and liberation—integrating artha/kāma with dharma and mokṣa under devotion.
Vedantic Theme: Īśvara as both abhyudaya (worldly welfare) and niḥśreyasa (ultimate good); pāpa-kṣaya as preparation for mokṣa; grace (anugraha) mediated through nāma/mantra.
Application: When facing illness, anxiety, or perceived ‘graha’ pressures, combine japa with ethical living and medical care; use the mantra as a stabilizing daily practice aimed at purification and clarity.
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.31.5 (the mantra); Garuda Purana 1.31.7-8 (nyāsa/mudrā as protective ‘kavaca’-like support)
