इति षोडशदोर्दण्डमण्डितं नृहरिं विभुम् । ध्यायेन्नारद नीलाभमुग्रकर्मण्यनन्यधीः ॥ ६१ ॥
iti ṣoḍaśadordaṇḍamaṇḍitaṃ nṛhariṃ vibhum | dhyāyennārada nīlābhamugrakarmaṇyananyadhīḥ || 61 ||
ఇలా, ఓ నారదా! పదహారు భుజాలతో అలంకృతుడై, నీలవర్ణ కాంతితో, ఉగ్రకర్మ పరాక్రమంతో ఉన్న సర్వవ్యాపి నృహరిని ఏకాగ్రచిత్తంతో ధ్యానించాలి।

Primary Rasa: bhakti

It prescribes focused dhyāna on Nṛhari (Nṛsiṃha) as a direct spiritual discipline—fixing the mind on the Lord’s form, power, and protective ferocity to purify consciousness and remove fear and obstacles.
Bhakti here is expressed as ananya-dhī—exclusive, unwavering attention to the Lord—where devotion matures into steady meditation on Vishnu’s manifested form (saguṇa-upāsanā).
It highlights the applied discipline of dhyāna used in mantra-upāsanā and ritual visualization—an operational technique supporting correct recitation and worship rather than a grammatical or astrological rule.
