FAQs
It highlights Viṣṇu as Antaryāmī (the indwelling guide) who responds to a seeker with kṛpā (compassion), implying that sincere turning toward the Lord draws divine instruction and support.
Bhakti is shown as relational and grace-filled: the Lord is not distant—He is Jagadguru and Antaryāmī, and when the devotee’s situation ripens, He compassionately speaks and guides.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is theological—recognizing Antaryāmī as the inner guide, which supports disciplined practice (japa, vrata, pūjā) with faith and steadiness.
