अनुध्यातोऽसि वै नूनं तेन देवेन विष्णुना । येन ते भक्तिरुत्पन्ना स्तोतुं मां मतिरुत्थिता
anudhyāto'si vai nūnaṃ tena devena viṣṇunā | yena te bhaktirutpannā stotuṃ māṃ matirutthitā
Tunay ngang ikaw ay inalaala at pinagbulayan ng Diyos na si Viṣṇu; sa pamamagitan niya sumibol ang iyong debosyon, at umusbong ang iyong pasya na purihin ako.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: अनुध्यातोऽसि = अनुध्यातः + असि (विसर्ग→ओऽ); भक्तिरुत्पन्ना = भक्तिः + उत्पन्ना (विसर्ग-लोप); मतिरुत्थिता = मतिः + उत्थिता (विसर्ग-लोप)।
It presents devotion as grace-enabled: remembrance/attention from Viṣṇu becomes the cause through which bhakti arises and the devotee is moved to offer praise.
The verse implies divine initiative and support—spiritual awakening is not only personal effort but also the result of the Lord’s favor that stirs devotion and right intention.
Cultivate praise and devotion with humility, recognizing that sincere devotion and the impulse to glorify the divine are themselves gifts supported by divine grace.
