श्रीविष्णुरुवाच । उद्यमः प्राणिभिः कार्यो यथाबुद्धि बलाबलम् । परं फलंति कर्माणि त्वदधीनानि शंकर
śrīviṣṇuruvāca | udyamaḥ prāṇibhiḥ kāryo yathābuddhi balābalam | paraṃ phalaṃti karmāṇi tvadadhīnāni śaṃkara
شری وِشنو نے فرمایا: “جانداروں کو اپنی سمجھ کے مطابق قوت و کمزوری کو جان کر کوشش کرنی چاہیے؛ مگر اعمال کا آخری پھل تو تیرے ہی اختیار میں ہے، اے شنکر!”
Śrī Viṣṇu
Tirtha: Avimukta (Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Viṣṇu speaks with calm authority to Śaṅkara: one hand gestures toward disciplined effort, the other toward surrender; Śiva listens as the sovereign of fruits, within the sanctified aura of Kāśī.
Do your rightful effort within your capacity, while recognizing that ultimate outcomes mature under the sovereignty of the Divine.
The teaching occurs within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa narrative framework; Kāśī’s sanctity forms the backdrop rather than being named in this verse.
No ritual act is prescribed; it gives a dhārmic principle guiding action and surrender.
