The Recitation of the Thousand Names of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa (Yugala-Sahasranāma) and Śaraṇāgati-Dharma
गायत्री देवता चास्य बल्लवीवल्लभो विभुः । प्रपन्नोऽस्मीति तद्भक्तौ विनियोग उदाहृतः ॥ १३ ॥
gāyatrī devatā cāsya ballavīvallabho vibhuḥ | prapanno'smīti tadbhaktau viniyoga udāhṛtaḥ || 13 ||
اس کا چھند گایتری ہے اور اس کے دیوتا وہ ہمہ گیر پروردگار ہیں جو گوپیوں کے ولّبھ ہیں۔ اس کا وِنیوگ: ‘میں شरणागत ہوں’—اُن کی بھکتی کے لیے بیان ہوا ہے۔
Sage Narada (instructional narration within Vedanga-style mantra-lakshana)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It frames mantra-practice as a devotional act: the practitioner approaches the all-pervading Lord (Krishna) through surrender (prapatti), while correctly specifying chandas (Gāyatrī) and devatā as part of disciplined recitation.
Bhakti is expressed as prapatti—“I have taken refuge”—making surrender the inner intention (viniyoga) behind the technical mantra framework.
It highlights mantra-lakṣaṇa conventions used in Vedanga-style practice: identifying the chandas (metre), the devatā (presiding deity), and the viniyoga (application) before recitation.
