Visual Art Cues: {"scene_description":"A yogin sits in deep meditation, his aura gradually brightening as layers of past-life impurities fall away like translucent veils. Behind him, Hari as the Viśvātmā appears not as a separate figure but as a vast inner presence—an ocean of light—placing a subtle hand of grace upon the yogin’s crown, awakening ‘yogyatā’ for yoga.","primary_figures":["Hari/Viṣṇu as Viśvātmā (inner cosmic presence)","Yogin (purified seeker)"],"setting":"Quiet cave-āśrama or lotus-platform in a starry inner-cosmos; minimal sacred objects (japa-mālā, śāstra)","lighting_mood":"moonlit","color_palette":["lapis blue","silver white","soft saffron","smoky purple","pale teal"],"tanjore_prompt":"Tanjore painting style: central yogin with gold-leaf aura expanding outward; Hari implied as a larger radiant form behind, with ornate crown and chest mark suggested through gold embossing; rich maroon and green borders, gem-studded ornaments, sacred symbols (śaṅkha-cakra) subtly integrated.","pahari_prompt":"Pahari miniature style: a tranquil cave opening to a night sky; the yogin rendered with delicate lines, and Hari as a translucent luminous silhouette blending into the sky; cool blues and silvers with a gentle saffron glow at the heart, refined facial serenity.","kerala_mural_prompt":"Kerala mural style: bold outlined yogin seated in padmāsana; behind, a large stylized Viṣṇu presence with characteristic eyes and ornaments; strong red-yellow-green accents against deep blue, temple mural symmetry and rhythmic patterns.","pichwai_prompt":"Pichwai cloth painting style: a central lotus seat with the yogin; surrounding border filled with repeating Tulasi-like floral motifs (as a symbolic purifier even if not explicit), peacocks and lotuses; deep blue ground with gold highlights; Hari’s presence suggested as a large halo-mandala with śaṅkha-cakra motifs."}

FAQs
It describes purification across many births, culminating in the vision of true knowledge (jñāna), after which the Universal Self (viśvātmā/Hari) brings yogins to spiritual readiness and attainment.
Hari can denote Viṣṇu and also “the remover (of sins or bondage).” The verse links purified being and realized knowledge with Hari as the guiding universal principle for yogins.
Cultivate inner purification and seek genuine knowledge—not merely intellectual learning—since realization is presented as what matures one into true fitness for Yoga and spiritual progress.
