देवदैत्यवियोगैश्च वर्जितं तुष्टिभिः सदा । दैवैश्च योगिभिर्ध्येयं तमोंकारं नमाम्यहम्
devadaityaviyogaiśca varjitaṃ tuṣṭibhiḥ sadā | daivaiśca yogibhirdhyeyaṃ tamoṃkāraṃ namāmyaham
ದೇವ-ದೈತ್ಯರ ವಿಯೋಗ-ಕಲಹಗಳಿಂದ ಅಸ್ಪೃಶ್ಯ, ಸದಾ ತೃಪ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ಯುಕ್ತ, ದೇವರೂ ಯೋಗಿಗಳೂ ಧ್ಯಾನಿಸುವ ಪ್ರಣವಸ್ವರೂಪ ಓಂಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ನಾನು ನಮಸ್ಕರಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.
Unspecified (verse is a direct devotional salutation within the chapter context)
Concept: Oṃkāra is untouched by dualistic conflict and is the object of contemplation for both divine beings and yogins; serenity (tuṣṭi) is its constant companion.
Application: Use Oṃ (or Oṃ Namo Nārāyaṇāya) japa to step out of reactive 'conflict-mind'; cultivate tuṣṭi (contentment) as a spiritual discipline alongside devotion.
