लक्ष्मीनारायणप्रीत्यै वस्त्रालंकरणैः शुभैः । परिधाय सपत्नीकः कृतकृत्यो भवेन्नरः
lakṣmīnārāyaṇaprītyai vastrālaṃkaraṇaiḥ śubhaiḥ | paridhāya sapatnīkaḥ kṛtakṛtyo bhavennaraḥ
لکشمی-نارائن کی خوشنودی کے لیے انسان کو مبارک لباس اور زیورات پہننے چاہییں؛ بیوی کے ساتھ یہ عمل کرے تو وہ اپنے دھارمک فریضے سے سبکدوش ہو جاتا ہے۔
Skanda (deduced from Nāgara-khaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narration style)
Tirtha: Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa sambandhita kṣetra (implied)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A husband and wife, freshly bathed, in bright auspicious garments and modest ornaments, stand before a Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa shrine with lamps, flowers, and incense.
Outer purity and reverent preparation, especially when done as a couple, is presented as a dharmic completion that pleases the divine.
The verse occurs within a Tīrthamāhātmya context in Nāgara-khaṇḍa, connected to a sacred observance involving holy trees (not named explicitly in this single verse).
Wear auspicious clothing and ornaments as an act of devotion to Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa, ideally performed together with one’s wife (sapatnīka).
