Kṛtayuga Description and Instruction on Royal Dharma
विनयेनाञ्जलिं कृत्वा प्रयत्नेनोपगम्य ह । दृष्टो मया स भूतात्मा देवः कमललोचन:
vinayenāñjaliṁ kṛtvā prayatnenopagamya ha | dṛṣṭo mayā sa bhūtātmā devaḥ kamalalocanaḥ ||
عاجزی سے ہاتھ جوڑ کر اور کوشش کے ساتھ اس کے قریب جا کر، میں نے اس کمل نَین دیوتا کا دیدار کیا—جو تمام مخلوقات کی اندرونی آتما ہے۔
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights the ethical posture of humility and reverence: approaching the divine (or the spiritually exalted) with self-restraint, joined palms, and sincere effort, leading to a transformative vision (darśana) of the indwelling Self of all beings.
The narrator describes respectfully approaching a radiant, lotus-eyed deity and receiving direct sight of that divine presence, characterized as the bhūtātmā—the inner spirit pervading all creatures.
