Puruṣottama-māhātmya
The Greatness of Puruṣottama Kṣetra
तत्र स्थितं जगन्नाथं जगत्स्रष्टारमव्ययम् । प्रणम्य शिरसा देवी लोकानां हितकाम्यया ॥ ५८ ॥
tatra sthitaṃ jagannāthaṃ jagatsraṣṭāramavyayam | praṇamya śirasā devī lokānāṃ hitakāmyayā || 58 ||
وہاں موجود جگن ناتھ—جہان کے خالق، ابدی و غیر فانی پروردگار—کو دیوی نے تمام لوکوں کی بھلائی کی نیت سے سر جھکا کر پرنام کیا۔
Narada (narration within a Tirtha-Mahatmya account)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It presents an ideal model of worship: the Goddess honors the imperishable Creator (Jagannātha/Vishnu) with humility, and the motive is loka-hita—seeking the welfare of all beings—showing devotion aligned with universal good.
Bhakti is expressed through praṇāma (bowing with the head) and recognition of the Lord’s cosmic sovereignty (Jagannātha) and eternality (avyaya). The verse frames devotion as reverent surrender coupled with compassionate intention.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught directly; the practical takeaway is ritual conduct (ācāra) in a tīrtha setting—darśana and praṇāma performed with a pure, welfare-oriented resolve (saṅkalpa).
