Haristuti-saṅgraha: Devatā–Ṛṣi Praṇāma, Nāma-māhātmya, and Vairāgya from Deha-āsakti

Devanagari script

त्रैगुण्यशून्यमखिलेषु च संविभक्तं तत्र प्रविश्य भगवन्न हि पश्यतीव / अतो मरारेस्तव सद्गुणांश्च स्तोतुं न शक्रोमि मरीचेतुल्यः

Transliteration

traiguṇyaśūnyamakhileṣu ca saṃvibhaktaṃ tatra praviśya bhagavanna hi paśyatīva / ato marārestava sadguṇāṃśca stotuṃ na śakromi marīcetulyaḥ

Translation

โอ้พระภควาน พระองค์ทรงพ้นจากไตรคุณ แต่ยังแผ่ซ่านอยู่ในสรรพสัตว์ทั้งปวงอย่างทั่วถึง เมื่อเข้าถึงความลี้ลับแห่งความแผ่ซ่านนั้น ก็ประหนึ่งไม่อาจเห็นพระองค์ได้จริง ดังนั้น โอ้มุราริ ข้าพเจ้าอันน้อยนิดดุจรัศมีมรีจิ ไม่อาจสรรเสริญแม้เพียงส่วนหนึ่งแห่งคุณธรรมอันประเสริฐของพระองค์

Speaker

Garuda (Vinata-putra), addressing Lord Vishnu

Philosophical Teaching

Concept: The Lord is triguṇa-śūnya (beyond sattva-rajas-tamas) yet appears distributed in all; entering the mystery of His all-pervasion, one cannot ‘see’ Him as an object; hence speech/praise falls short.

Vedantic Theme: Nirguṇa with saguṇa-upādhi appearance; aparokṣa/anubhava not reducible to sensory ‘seeing’; limits of language and mind in grasping Brahman.

Application: Hold paradox without forcing simplistic conclusions; practice neti-neti style discernment alongside devotion; let humility guard against dogmatism.

Verse Rasa

Primary Rasa: shanta

Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

FAQs

This verse highlights Vishnu as traiguṇyaśūnya—transcending sattva, rajas, and tamas—showing the Supreme as not limited by material nature even while sustaining it.

By emphasizing that the Lord is subtle, all-pervading, and difficult to grasp, the verse points the soul toward humility and devotion rather than mere intellectual certainty—supporting inner surrender as a means of spiritual progress.

Cultivate humility in worship and study: recognize the limits of ego and intellect, and practice steady devotion and ethical living while remembering the Divine presence in all beings.
