Lord Vishnu (addressing Garuda/Vinata-putra) — likely within a catalog/enumeration passage
Concept: Remembering the divine as luminous (Citrabhānu), self-radiant (Svabānu), deliverer (Tāraṇa), earth-supporting (Pārthiva), beyond loss (Vyaya), all-conquering and all-bearing (Sarvajit, Sarvadhārī).
Vedantic Theme: Ishvara as jagat-kāraṇa and jagat-ādhāra; devotion stabilizes the mind in the all-supporting reality.
Application: Use the names as contemplative anchors: visualize light for Citrabhānu/Svabānu; invoke protection for Sarvadhārī; cultivate resilience with Vyaya (the imperishable).
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

FAQs

This specific verse does not describe the soul’s journey directly; it is an enumerative passage listing named entities, likely as part of a broader descriptive section in the chapter.
Use it for accurate study and recitation: keep the Sanskrit and IAST intact, and treat the terms primarily as proper names unless the surrounding verses explicitly define their roles.
