Aftermath of Gajendra’s Deliverance: Hūhū’s Release, Indradyumna’s Curse, and Sārūpya-mukti
स एकदाराधनकाल आत्मवान् गृहीतमौनव्रत ईश्वरं हरिम् । जटाधरस्तापस आप्लुतोऽच्युतं समर्चयामास कुलाचलाश्रम: ॥ ८ ॥
sa ekadārādhana-kāla ātmavān gṛhīta-mauna-vrata īśvaraṁ harim jaṭā-dharas tāpasa āpluto ’cyutaṁ samarcayām āsa kulācalāśramaḥ
Umalis si Mahārāja Indradyumna sa buhay-pamilya at nanirahan sa isang āśrama sa Kula-ācala (mga burol ng Malaya). May buhol-buhol na buhok bilang asetiko, lagi siyang nagsasagawa ng pagtitika at pagsamba kay Hari. Minsan, habang may panatang katahimikan, lubos siyang nalubog sa pagsamba kay Acyuta, sa pagkalasing ng pag-ibig na debosyonal.
This verse presents mauna-vrata as a supportive discipline for focused worship—helping a devotee or sage become self-controlled and attentive while honoring Lord Hari.
Acyuta means “infallible” or “never deviating.” Here it emphasizes that the Lord remains perfectly reliable and unchanged, worthy of steady worship and surrender.
Set a regular time for sādhana, reduce distractions (including intentional silence), begin with cleanliness, and offer focused worship or prayer to the Supreme Lord with steadiness.
