Humility, Surrender, and the Power of the Name
कुर्वन्ति ये पठनं नित्यमेव समर्पयिष्यति सदा हरौ च / तेषां हरिः प्रीयते केशवोलं हरौ प्रसन्ने किमलभ्यमस्ति
kurvanti ye paṭhanaṃ nityameva samarpayiṣyati sadā harau ca / teṣāṃ hariḥ prīyate keśavolaṃ harau prasanne kimalabhyamasti
«Aqueles que fazem esta recitação diariamente e a oferecem sempre a Hari—Hari, o Keśava, fica satisfeito com eles. E quando Hari está satisfeito, que coisa há que não se possa alcançar?»
Lord Vishnu (in dialogue to Garuda/Vinata-putra, as typical Garuda Purana frame)
Concept: Nitya-stotra and samarpana (offering) please Keshava; divine pleasure removes obstacles and grants attainments.
Vedantic Theme: Ishvara-prasada as the decisive factor; karma becomes yoga through offering (ishvara-arpana); bhakti as a direct means to anugraha.
Application: Recite daily and explicitly dedicate the act to Hari; convert routine into offering; rely on grace rather than anxiety about results.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
Related Themes: Garuda Purana 3.6.23 (reciters are Hari-priya); Garuda Purana: broader Vishnu-bhakti sections emphasizing stotra/japa
FAQs
This verse presents daily recitation as a devotional discipline whose core value is arpaṇa (dedicating the act to Hari), leading to divine pleasure and spiritual attainment.
It frames scripture-reading not merely as information but as bhakti-yoga: when Hari is pleased, the devotee gains access to grace that supports dharma, inner purification, and ultimate spiritual goals.
Read a portion regularly, conclude with a simple dedication—“idam pāṭha-phalaṁ śrī-haraye samarpayāmi”—and let the practice shape conduct through devotion, humility, and consistency.
