The Account of Hanumān
तेषां मध्ये महाकाशमाकाशे निर्मलामलम् । तन्मध्ये च महेशानं ध्यायेद्दीप्तिमयं शुभम् ॥ ३६ ॥
teṣāṃ madhye mahākāśamākāśe nirmalāmalam | tanmadhye ca maheśānaṃ dhyāyeddīptimayaṃ śubham || 36 ||
ان کے درمیان مہاکاش کا دھیان کرے—آکاش میں جو نہایت پاک و بے داغ ہے۔ اور اسی کے اندر نور سے بھرپور، مبارک مہیشان کا مراقبہ کرے۔

It outlines an inward contemplative ladder: from the notion of vast, pure space (ākāśa) to the recognition of the luminous, auspicious Lord (Maheśāna) as the indwelling focus of meditation—supporting steadiness and purification of mind.
Even as a dhyāna-instruction, it is devotional in aim: the meditator lovingly fixes awareness on the Lord’s śubha (auspicious) and dīptimaya (radiant) form/presence, turning abstract vastness into personal God-centered contemplation.
It reflects a technical dhyāna method—progressive visualization and concentration (a yogic upāya) often taught alongside śāstraic disciplines in the Purāṇic Vedāṅga milieu, emphasizing mental purity (nirmala) and a precise meditation object.
