Narrator (Purāṇic narration; specific dialogue speaker not explicit in the given śloka)
Concept: Darśana of the Lord dissolves long-held sorrow into sanctified joy; prostration (daṇḍavat) is the body’s theology—ego laid flat before dharma incarnate.
Application: When meeting what is sacred—teacher, deity, or truth—respond with humility and gratitude; let reverence be embodied, not merely thought.
