वानरं पश्यति हरौ मण्डकं विष्णुभाजने । चक्षेप मुनिसंषेषु पश्यत्स्वपि महेश्वरः ॥ १५६ ॥
vānaraṃ paśyati harau maṇḍakaṃ viṣṇubhājane | cakṣepa munisaṃṣeṣu paśyatsvapi maheśvaraḥ || 156 ||
جب ہری دیکھ رہے تھے تو ایک بندر نے وِشنو کی پوجا کے برتن میں ایک مینڈک پھینک دیا؛ جمع ہوئے رشیوں کے دیکھتے ہوئے بھی یہ کام مہیشور نے ہی کیا۔

FAQs
It highlights how sacred worship implements (especially those dedicated to Viṣṇu) must be protected from impurity and irreverence, because even a small act of contamination becomes a visible sign of ritual lapse and potential aparādha.
Bhakti is expressed not only through emotion but through careful service (sevā) and respect for Viṣṇu’s worship—guarding the offering-vessel and maintaining śauca (purity) are portrayed as concrete forms of devotion.
Ritual discipline connected with Kalpa (procedural conduct) and śauca is implied: worship articles must remain uncontaminated, and the community (muni-assembly) serves as a witness ensuring correct observance.
