FAQs
This verse functions as a direct stuti (invocation) calling upon Vishnu by multiple sacred names, emphasizing compassionate divine attention—an inner turning toward refuge that complements the Preta Kanda’s focus on protection and right passage.
By addressing Vishnu as dayārdra-mūrti (compassion embodied) and Lakṣmīśa, the verse frames liberation and safety as dependent on divine grace and remembrance, which the text repeatedly presents as supportive amid post-death transitions and fears.
Use the verse as a daily remembrance (smaraṇa) or prayer in times of anxiety, grief, or ritual observance—centering the mind on Vishnu’s names and compassion to encourage steadiness, devotion, and ethical living.
