وہ دو بازو والے رب کے قدموں پر جھکا؛ سارے اعضا زیوروں سے آراستہ، جوان، خوش قامت، پُرسکون چہرہ—ہاتھ جوڑے، سر جھکائے، عقیدت سے کھڑا رہا۔
Narada (narrating within the dialogue with Sanatkumara)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It portrays the classic bhakti posture—pāda-vandanā (reverence to the Lord’s feet) with añjali—showing that inner serenity and outward humility are central marks of devotional approach to Hari.
Bhakti is expressed through embodied reverence: bowing, joining the palms, and approaching the Lord with a calm, pleased mind—indicating surrender (praṇipāta) and loving respect (vandanā).
While not teaching a specific Vedāṅga rule directly, it reflects śrauta-smārta worship decorum—proper gesture (añjali), respectful salutation (abhivandana), and disciplined bodily conduct used in ritual and devotional practice.
