ہری کا دھیان کرنا چاہیے—کپِل اور اس کے گنوں کے درمیان قائم، پکارنے والا، دائیں ہاتھ میں وینو (بانسری) تھامے۔ دوسرے ہاتھ میں ڈنڈے کے ساتھ پاش لیے ہوئے؛ بادل جیسے نیلگوں، پیتامبر پوش، اور سر پر مورپَرن کا زیور سجائے ہوئے۔
Sanatkumara (in dialogue with Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It prescribes a concrete dhyāna-mūrti of Hari: fixing the mind on specific divine attributes (color, posture, emblems, attire) to stabilize concentration and awaken devotion leading toward liberation.
Bhakti is expressed as personal, form-based remembrance: Hari is portrayed as actively “calling” the devotee, while the flute, yellow garments, and peacock-feather crest cultivate loving contemplation (smaraṇa) as a devotional practice.
It reflects a technical, lakṣaṇa-based method of visualization—precise descriptive markers used like a meditative ‘definition’—supporting disciplined practice akin to Vedāṅga-style exactness (terminology, attributes, and structured contemplation).
