Translation

وِشنو کی بھکتی کرو—وہ اَجَنما، درخشاں پرمیشور، جس کی مورتی دْوِج، یَجْیہ کی اَگنیاں، تیرتھ اور ویدوں کی گوناگوں شاخوں سے مرکب ہے۔ اُس کے پرساد سے جیَو موکش کے مہا درخت پر آ کر ٹھہرتا ہے، اور سنسار-بھَو کے سورج سے اٹھنے والی تپش اسے نہیں جلاتی۔

FAQs

Viṣṇu is presented as the very essence of Vedic revelation, sacred rites, and holy geography; devotion to Him culminates in mokṣa and freedom from saṃsāric suffering.

The verse praises tīrtha in general (holy places as part of Viṣṇu’s embodied sacrality) rather than identifying a single named location.

Bhajana/Upāsanā of Viṣṇu is prescribed as the central practice, integrating Vedic and tīrtha-based religiosity.
