Prāyaścitta for Mahāpātakas and the Sin-destroying Power of Viṣṇu-smaraṇa
यजंति ये विष्णुमनंतमूर्तिं निरीक्ष्य चाकारगतं वरेण्यम् । वेदांतवेद्यं भवरोगवैद्यं ते यांति मर्त्याः पदमच्युतस्य ॥ ११३ ॥
yajaṃti ye viṣṇumanaṃtamūrtiṃ nirīkṣya cākāragataṃ vareṇyam | vedāṃtavedyaṃ bhavarogavaidyaṃ te yāṃti martyāḥ padamacyutasya || 113 ||
ଯେ ମର୍ତ୍ୟମାନେ ଅନନ୍ତମୂର୍ତ୍ତି ବିଷ୍ଣୁଙ୍କୁ ଯଜନ୍ତି—ପବିତ୍ର ‘ଅ’ ଅକ୍ଷରରେ ସ୍ଥିତ ପରମ ବରେଣ୍ୟ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଧ୍ୟାନ କରି—ବେଦାନ୍ତରେ ବେଦ୍ୟ ଓ ଭବରୋଗର ବୈଦ୍ୟ ତାଙ୍କୁ ସେବି, ସେମାନେ ଅଚ୍ୟୁତଙ୍କ ପରମ ପଦକୁ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୁଅନ୍ତି।
Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It teaches that worship combined with contemplative insight—seeing Viṣṇu as the Vedānta-known reality and as the cure for saṁsāra—leads to Acyuta’s supreme abode (mokṣa).
Bhakti here is not only external worship (yajanti) but also inner contemplation (nirīkṣya) of Viṣṇu’s transcendent nature; such devotion, grounded in right understanding, culminates in liberation.
The verse points to mantra-principles and phonetic contemplation of ākāra (the ‘A’ sound), aligning with Śikṣā (Vedic phonetics) and Upaniṣadic/Vedānta interpretation of sacred syllables.
