The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
बाल्यं भावं गतो विप्राः कृष्णमेव व्यचिंतयत् । नरसिंहप्रसादेन देवराजो भवेद्दिवि
bālyaṃ bhāvaṃ gato viprāḥ kṛṣṇameva vyaciṃtayat | narasiṃhaprasādena devarājo bhaveddivi
Wahai para brāhmaṇa, ketika mencapai usia kanak-kanak, dia hanya merenungi Kṛṣṇa semata-mata. Dengan prasāda Narasiṃha, dia menjadi raja para dewa di syurga.
Unspecified narrator (context not provided in the input excerpt)
Concept: From childhood, exclusive remembrance of Kṛṣṇa (ananya-cintana) draws the grace of Narasiṃha; divine favor can overturn worldly limitations and confer exalted states.
Application: Practice daily single-pointed remembrance—japa, nāma-smaraṇa, or brief contemplations throughout the day; interpret life’s ‘promotions’ as opportunities for service rather than ego.

FAQs
Single-minded contemplation (smaraṇa/dhyāna) of Kṛṣṇa—exclusive remembrance as a form of bhakti.
Narasiṃha is a Vaiṣṇava avatāra; the verse frames the result as arising from Viṣṇu’s grace, expressed specifically as Narasiṃha’s favor while the devotee’s mind remains fixed on Kṛṣṇa.
Steadfast devotion and remembrance are presented as transformative, leading to exalted outcomes through divine grace rather than mere worldly effort.
