The Bestowal of Boons upon Aṅga
सर्वज्ञः सर्ववेत्ता च यादृशो वांछितस्त्वया । एवं वरं ततो दत्वा अंतर्धानं गतो हरिः
sarvajñaḥ sarvavettā ca yādṛśo vāṃchitastvayā | evaṃ varaṃ tato datvā aṃtardhānaṃ gato hariḥ
یوں ہر چیز جاننے والے، سب کچھ سمجھنے والے ہری نے تمہاری خواہش کے مطابق ور دیا، اور پھر نگاہوں سے اوجھل ہو گئے۔
Narrator (contextual; specific speaker not identifiable from the single verse alone)
Concept: The Lord, as omniscient, grants boons precisely suited to the devotee’s inner desire and then withdraws—teaching reliance on faith and dharma rather than continued spectacle.
Application: After receiving help or clarity, continue steady practice without craving constant signs; trust that the divine knows the heart’s true need.
