अनादिनिधनं लोके चक्रहस्तं च मां मुने । अनुध्यानान्मम मुने नैतद्‌ वचनमन्यथा

anādinidhanaṁ loke cakrahastaṁ ca māṁ mune | anudhyānān mama mune naitad vacanam anyathā ||

Vaiśaṃpāyana disse: “Ó sábio, meditando constantemente em mim, tu me verás neste mundo como o Senhor sem começo e sem fim, trazendo o disco na mão. Esta minha palavra, ó sábio, jamais se mostrará de outro modo (jamais será falsa).”

Educational Q&A

Sustained meditation (anudhyāna) on the Lord leads to direct experiential vision of the divine form; the verse also emphasizes the reliability of divine assurance—true contemplation yields a true result.

Vaiśaṃpāyana reports a promise addressed to a sage: if the sage continually contemplates the Lord, he will see the beginningless, endless deity in the recognizable Viṣṇu form holding the discus, and this promise will not fail.
