All-Vaiṣṇava Gift
सर्वत्र पश्यंत्वसुरारिमेकं शुष्केषु चार्द्रेष्वपि स्थावरेषु । अभ्रेषु भूमौ सचराचरेषु स्वीयेषु कायेष्वपि जीवरूपम्
sarvatra paśyaṃtvasurārimekaṃ śuṣkeṣu cārdreṣvapi sthāvareṣu | abhreṣu bhūmau sacarācareṣu svīyeṣu kāyeṣvapi jīvarūpam
Semoga mereka memandang di mana-mana Yang Esa, Musuh para asura (Viṣṇu): pada yang kering dan yang lembap, bahkan pada makhluk yang tidak bergerak; di awan dan di bumi, pada segala yang bergerak dan tidak bergerak, bahkan dalam tubuh sendiri sebagai rupa kehidupan.

FAQs
It teaches the all-pervading presence of Viṣṇu—He is to be perceived in every condition (dry/moist), in all beings (moving/immovable), in nature (clouds/earth), and within one’s own body as life itself.
“Asurāri” means “enemy of the asuras (demons)” and is a common epithet of Viṣṇu, highlighting His role as protector of cosmic order (dharma).
By urging constant perception of Viṣṇu everywhere, it supports continuous remembrance (smaraṇa) and devotional seeing (darśana) in daily life, not limited to temple or ritual settings.
