aśūnyaśayanaṃnāma vratamasti mahattapaḥ | viṣṇorārādhanārthāya tatkuruṣva samā hitaḥ
Há um voto chamado Aśūnyaśayana, uma austeridade de grande poder. Cumpre-o com a mente concentrada, para a adoração de Viṣṇu.
Bṛhaspati
Tirtha: Aśūnyaśayana (vrata-centered sacred observance)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Bṛhaspati instructs Indra about the powerful Aśūnyaśayana vow; in the background, a visionary glimpse of reclining Viṣṇu on Śeṣa over the Milk Ocean.
Focused devotion to Viṣṇu through a prescribed vow becomes a powerful means to restore order, protection, and well-being.
Implicitly Viṣṇu’s cosmic sacred realm (connected in the passage to Kṣīroda/Kṣīrasamudra), as the locus of refuge and grace.
The Aśūnyaśayana Vrata—performed with concentration (samāhita) specifically for Viṣṇu’s worship.
