केशवाय च शांताय वामनाय नमोनमः । धर्मप्रियाय देवाय नमस्ते पीतवाससे
keśavāya ca śāṃtāya vāmanāya namonamaḥ | dharmapriyāya devāya namaste pītavāsase
കേശവനായ ശാന്തസ്വരൂപനോടും വാമനനോടും വീണ്ടും വീണ്ടും നമസ്കാരം. ധർമ്മപ്രിയനായ ദേവനേ, നമസ്കാരം; ഓ പീതവാസധാരീ! നിനക്കു പ്രണാമം.
Dharma
Tirtha: Ayodhyā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Viṣṇu is invoked as Keśava the peaceful one, Vāmana, and the yellow-robed dharma-lover; the devotee’s repeated salutations form a rhythmic devotional tableau.
God is portrayed as dharma-priya—intimately aligned with righteousness—so honoring dharma is itself devotion to the Lord.
The surrounding chapter glorifies Ayodhyā; this verse praises Viṣṇu’s names and virtues within that setting.
Repeated namaskāra and stuti; no additional ritual act is stated.
