Goloka-tattva and Rādhā–Kṛṣṇa Upāsanā
तद्वद्राधास्वरूपं च द्विधारूपमभूत्सति । ताभ्यां दृष्टं तत्स्वरूपं साक्षात्तावपि तत्समौ ॥ १६ ॥
tadvadrādhāsvarūpaṃ ca dvidhārūpamabhūtsati | tābhyāṃ dṛṣṭaṃ tatsvarūpaṃ sākṣāttāvapi tatsamau || 16 ||
ເຊັ່ນດຽວກັນ ຮູບອັນແທ້ຂອງ ຣາທາ ກໍເກີດເປັນສອງຮູບ. ໂດຍທັງສອງນັ້ນ ຮູບແທ້ນັ້ນຖືກເຫັນໂດຍກົງ; ແລະທັງສອງກໍເທົ່າທຽມກັບຮູບເດີມນັ້ນ.
Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches that the Divine can manifest in multiple aspects without diminishing unity—each manifestation can be fully identical in essence to the original svarūpa.
By affirming direct vision (sākṣāt-darśana) of the Divine form, it supports bhakti as a relational path where the Lord’s/Devī’s manifestations become accessible to devotees while remaining पूर्ण (complete).
No explicit Vedāṅga instruction appears in this śloka; the key takeaway is theological—understanding svarūpa, rūpa-bheda (difference of forms), and sākṣāt-pratyakṣa (direct manifestation) within Purāṇic teaching.
