Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 8
The Characteristics of Devotion to Hari
ते नेत्रे सुफले पुंसां पश्यतो ये जनार्दनम् । सा जिह्वा प्रोच्यते सद्भिर्हरिनामपरा तु या ॥ ८ ॥
te netre suphale puṃsāṃ paśyato ye janārdanam | sā jihvā procyate sadbhirharināmaparā tu yā || 8 ||
Tunay na mabunga ang mga mata ng tao kapag minamasdan si Janārdana. At ang dila, ayon sa mga banal, ay siyang tunay na dila—yaong nakatuon sa Banal na Pangalan ni Hari.

It teaches that the senses become meaningful when aligned with devotion: eyes attain success by seeing Vishnu (Janardana), and speech becomes sanctified when the tongue is absorbed in chanting Hari’s Name.
Bhakti is shown as practical sense-discipline—seeking Hari-darshana (vision of the Lord) and Hari-nāma (chanting), which together transform perception and speech into direct instruments of liberation-oriented devotion.
While not a technical Vedanga passage, it implies disciplined recitation and right use of speech—supporting the spirit of Śikṣā (phonetics/pronunciation) and Vyākaraṇa (correct expression) in nāma-japa and devotional recitation.
