Unspecified (verse excerpt; speaker not identifiable from this single śloka alone)
Concept: Divine beauty (divya-śobhā) is a legitimate doorway to devotion; attentive contemplation of sacred form steadies the mind toward worship.
Application: Practice darśana-mindfulness: when seeing sacred images or temple processions, focus on one detail (garland, bell, ornament) and let it become a mantra-like anchor for gratitude and restraint.
