The Exposition of the Krishna Mantra (Kṛṣṇa-mantra-prakāśa): Nyāsa, Dhyāna, Worship, Yantra, and Prayoga
श्रीमत्कुन्देंदुगौरं सरसिजनयनं शङ्खचक्रे गदाब्जे बिभ्राणं हस्तपद्मैर्नवनलिनलसन्मालयादीप्यमानम् । वंदे वेद्यं मुनींद्रैः कणिकमुनिलसद्दिव्यभूषाभिरामं दिव्यांगालेपभासं सकलभयहरं पीतवस्त्रं नुरारिम् ॥ १५० ॥

Aku bersujud kepada Nārāyaṇa, bercahaya putih laksana bunga kunda dan bulan, bermata teratai; memegang sangkha dan cakra, serta mengangkat gada dan teratai dengan tangan laksana teratai; bersinar dengan kalungan bak teratai muda. Dialah yang dikenali para muni agung melalui Veda, indah dengan perhiasan ilahi; anggota tubuh-Nya berkilau oleh sapuan wewangian surgawi; penghapus segala ketakutan; berpakaian kuning; musuh para asura.
Narada (hymnic praise within the Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It presents Nārāyaṇa as the supreme, sage-knowable Reality whose remembrance and worship remove all fear; the verse functions as a devotional invocation that aligns the mind with mokṣa-oriented bhakti.
Bhakti is expressed through direct vandanā (reverential praise) of the Lord’s auspicious form and qualities—purity, radiance, protection, and supremacy—showing that heartfelt contemplation and worship are themselves a liberating discipline.
While not teaching a specific Vedāṅga rule, it reflects the Vedāṅga-aligned use of precise mantra-style epithets and iconographic terms (śaṅkha-cakra-gadā-padma) for correct devotional recitation and visualization in ritual practice.
