Vedantic Theme: Transforming inner vṛttis by fixing the mind on Ishvara’s auspicious attributes; moving toward equanimity.

Application: When facing obstacles or negativity (durmukha), recite victory-epithets (Vijaya/Jaya) to reframe the mind toward steadiness and right action.

Such verses preserve traditional enumerations used for identification, recitation, and continuity of the text’s cosmological or ritual catalogues within the Vishnu–Garuda dialogue.

How does this verse explain the path of the soul?

This specific verse is primarily an enumeration of names rather than a direct description of the soul’s journey; its function is contextual, supporting the chapter’s broader listing framework.

Practical application of this wisdom today?

Use it for accurate chanting, study, and cross-referencing when reading Adhyaya 66, ensuring the correct preservation of traditional names and sequences.
