अयं नाम्ना गुप्तहरिर्देवो भुवनविश्रुतः । मदीयं परमं गुह्यं स्थानं ख्यातिं समेष्यति
ayaṃ nāmnā guptaharirdevo bhuvanaviśrutaḥ | madīyaṃ paramaṃ guhyaṃ sthānaṃ khyātiṃ sameṣyati
“ഈ ദേവൻ ‘ഗുപ്ത-ഹരി’ എന്ന നാമത്തിൽ സർവ്വലോകങ്ങളിലും പ്രസിദ്ധനാകും; ഈ സ്ഥലം എന്റെ പരമ ഗുഹ്യധാമമായി ഖ്യാതി പ്രാപിക്കും.”
Śrī Bhagavān (Hari/Viṣṇu)
Tirtha: Gupta-Hari
Type: temple
Listener: Devas
Scene: The Lord proclaims a specific deity-name—Gupta-Hari—and declares the place to be His supremely secret abode destined for world fame; the scene centers on revelation of a hidden shrine.
The divine can be ‘hidden’ yet powerfully present—certain sacred places are revealed as special abodes where grace is concentrated.
The site/deity called “Gupta-Hari” is explicitly glorified as the Lord’s secret supreme abode, within the Ayodhyā Māhātmya.
No explicit ritual is stated; the verse establishes the sanctity and fame of the Gupta-Hari abode, implying pilgrimage and worship there.
