Devanagari script

संपत्स्यसे नात्र विचार्यमस्तीत्युक्त्वा सा वै प्रययौ विष्णुलोके / श्रीलक्ष्म्यंशाच्छ्रीरितीड्यां समाख्यां लब्ध्वा लोके शेषपत्नी बभूव

Transliteration

saṃpatsyase nātra vicāryamastītyuktvā sā vai prayayau viṣṇuloke / śrīlakṣmyaṃśācchrīritīḍyāṃ samākhyāṃ labdhvā loke śeṣapatnī babhūva

Translation

“तू निश्चयच ते प्राप्त करशील; येथे विचार करण्यास काहीच नाही,” असे म्हणत ती विष्णुलोकास गेली. श्रीलक्ष्मीचा अंश असल्याने तिला ‘श्री’ ही पूज्य संज्ञा मिळाली आणि लोकी ती शेषाची पत्नी झाली.

Philosophical Teaching

Concept: Divine assurance (niścaya) and grace lead to attainment of Viṣṇu’s realm; śrī as a divine potency (Lakṣmī-aṃśa) manifests as auspicious identity and rightful station.

Vedantic Theme: Īśvara-anugraha (grace) and śakti-tattva (Lakṣmī/Śrī as divine power) within a theistic Vedānta frame.

Application: Cultivate steadfast devotion and trust in the Lord’s promise; honor Śrī (Lakṣmī) as auspiciousness through ethical prosperity and reverent worship.

FAQs

What is the importance of Vishnuloka in the Garuda Purana?

This verse presents Viṣṇuloka as a definitive, doubtless attainment for the divinely connected being described, emphasizing the certainty of reaching Viṣṇu’s realm when aligned with Śrī (auspicious divine power).

How does this verse explain the path of the soul?

Rather than describing Yama’s path or after-death rites, it depicts a theistic destination—departure to Viṣṇuloka—showing that spiritual identity and divine affiliation (Śrī-Lakṣmī’s aṃśa) can determine one’s realm of attainment.

Practical application of this wisdom today?

Cultivate Śrī—auspicious conduct, devotion, and dhārmic living—so one’s life is oriented toward higher spiritual goals rather than uncertainty and doubt.
