इति स्तुतिं मे भगवन्ह्यनंत जुषस्व भक्तस्य विशेषतश्च । समाधियुक्तस्य विशुद्धचेतसस्त्वद्भावभावैकमनोनुगस्य
iti stutiṃ me bhagavanhyanaṃta juṣasva bhaktasya viśeṣataśca | samādhiyuktasya viśuddhacetasastvadbhāvabhāvaikamanonugasya
یوں، اے بھگوان اَنَنت، مہربانی فرما کر میری یہ ستوتی قبول کیجیے—خصوصاً اپنے بھکت کی—جو سمادھی سے یُکت ہے، جس کا چِتّ شُدھ ہے، اور جس کی یکسو توجہ صرف آپ ہی کے بھاؤ-چنتن کی پیرو ہے۔
A devotee addressing Lord Ananta (Vishnu)
Concept: The Lord accepts praise offered with purified mind, samādhi, and single-minded devotion; inner absorption is the heart of worship.
Application: Offer daily prayer with a few minutes of quiet attention; reduce mental scattering; dedicate speech and thought as stuti rather than self-display.

FAQs
It expresses humble surrender and intimate devotion: the speaker asks the Lord (Ananta) to accept the hymn as an offering, emphasizing purity of mind and single-pointed contemplation of the Lord’s being.
The verse presents samādhi not as a separate goal but as a devotional absorption—samādhi-yuktaḥ with a viśuddha-cetas—where the mind becomes one-pointed in the contemplation of the Lord (tvad-bhāva).
It suggests that praise and prayer become most meaningful when paired with sincerity, inner purification, and focused remembrance—offering devotion with a steady, undistracted mind.
