पश्यंतो विष्णुरूपेण जगत्सर्वं चराचरम् । चरंति लीलया पृथ्वद्यंतेऽन्योन्यं मौनमास्थिताः
paśyaṃto viṣṇurūpeṇa jagatsarvaṃ carācaram | caraṃti līlayā pṛthvadyaṃte'nyonyaṃ maunamāsthitāḥ
Dengan memandang seluruh alam—yang bergerak dan yang tidak bergerak—sebagai rupa Viṣṇu, mereka mengembara bagaikan līlā. Walau sampai ke hujung-hujung bumi, mereka tetap bersama dalam diam (mauna).

FAQs
It teaches a Viṣṇu-centric vision (sarvaṁ viṣṇumayam): seeing all beings and all existence—moving and unmoving—as manifestations of Viṣṇu, which naturally leads to inwardness and silence (mauna).
“Līlā” suggests effortless, unattached movement through the world—action without grasping—arising from a transformed perception where the whole cosmos is divine.
It points to restraint in speech, humility, and contemplative steadiness—practices that support non-harm and clarity when one regards all beings as sacred.
