kṛtanityakriyo viṣṇuḥ salakṣmīkaḥ sakāśyapiḥ | upasaṃhṛtya tāṃ mūrtiṃ trailokyavyāpinīṃ tathā
విష్ణువు నిత్యక్రియలను పూర్తిచేసి, లక్ష్మీతో కూడి కాశ్యపునితో సహా, త్రిలోకవ్యాపినైన ఆ రూపాన్ని అప్పుడు ఉపసంహరించెను.

Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: Viṣṇu with Lakṣmī stands near a Kāśī riverside shrine, completing nitya-ritual; Kāśyapa stands respectfully. A vast, subtle aura expands to fill the three worlds, then gently contracts back into Viṣṇu, signifying withdrawal of the all-pervading form.
Even the Supreme is depicted honoring nitya-kriyā (daily dharmic observance), teaching that regular sacred discipline anchors spiritual life.
The ongoing episode is set in Kāśī’s Pādodaka/Viṣṇupādodaka context, though this verse focuses on the narrative transition.
Nitya-kriyā—daily religious observances—presented through Viṣṇu’s example.
