अतो मुरारेश्च तवैव भार्या भूयासमित्येव तदा व्रतं मे / दुः संगमात्रादिसमागमं न संसिद्धिरित्येव वदान्यमूर्ते

Transliteration

ato murāreśca tavaiva bhāryā bhūyāsamityeva tadā vrataṃ me / duḥ saṃgamātrādisamāgamaṃ na saṃsiddhirityeva vadānyamūrte

Translation

అందువల్ల హే మురారి! నా వ్రతం ఇదే— నేను నీ భార్యనే కావాలి. హే వదాన్యమూర్తీ! దుఃసంగమాత్రం వల్ల కలిగే ఏ కలయికనూ నేను స్వీకరించను; నీ ప్రాప్తియే నిజమైన సిద్ధి అని ప్రకటిస్తున్నాను.

Philosophical Teaching

Concept: Ekānta-bhakti: seeking only the Lord (Murāri) as true spouse; rejecting unions born of mere circumstance (duḥ-saṅga) as spiritually unfulfilling.

Vedantic Theme: Vairāgya toward transient contacts; true siddhi is union with the Supreme (parama-puruṣa) rather than saṁsāric attachments.

Application: Make a clear inner vow: prioritize devotion over social pressure and impulsive association; avoid duḥ-saṅga and choose sādhusaṅga and disciplined practice.

Verse Rasa

Primary Rasa: shringara

Secondary Rasa: shanta

FAQs

This verse portrays vrata as a focused spiritual resolve—directed toward the highest ideal (Vishnu)—and not merely a social or emotional choice.

It defines saṃsiddhi as authentic attainment aligned with dharma and devotion, rejecting outcomes produced only by duḥsaṅga (harmful association).

Choose relationships and commitments that strengthen character and devotion; avoid influences that pull one into impulsive or degrading attachments.
