त्यानंतर जयंत, विजय, कृष्ण, अनंत आणि वामन यांचे स्मरण करतो; तसेच विष्णू—विश्वेश्वर, पावन, विश्वाधार, देवांनी पूजिलेला।
Unspecified (contextual narrator within a devotional/recitational passage)
Concept: Remembering multiple forms/nāmas of Viṣṇu (Jayanta, Vijaya, Kṛṣṇa, Ananta, Vāmana) culminates in recognizing Him as Viśveśvara and Viśvādhāra—the holy foundation of existence, worshipped even by devas.
Application: Use a ‘name-garland’ practice: recall one form for each life-domain—Kṛṣṇa for intimacy and guidance, Vāmana for humility, Ananta for steadiness, Viśveśvara for responsibility—then offer the day’s actions to the cosmic support.
