Deva–Asura Battle after the Nectar; Bali’s Illusions and Hari’s Intervention

Devanagari script

तस्मिन्प्रविष्टेऽसुरकूटकर्मजा माया विनेशुर्महिना महीयस: । स्वप्नो यथा हि प्रतिबोध आगते हरिस्मृति: सर्वविपद्विमोक्षणम् ॥ ५५ ॥

Transliteration

tasmin praviṣṭe ’sura-kūṭa-karmajā māyā vineśur mahinā mahīyasaḥ svapno yathā hi pratibodha āgate hari-smṛtiḥ sarva-vipad-vimokṣaṇam

Translation

Khi Đấng chí tôn đầy uy lực bước vào chiến địa, mọi ảo thuật do mưu kế của loài asura tạo ra liền tiêu tan—như hiểm họa trong mộng chấm dứt khi người mơ tỉnh giấc. Quả thật, chỉ cần tưởng niệm Śrī Hari là được giải thoát khỏi mọi tai ương.

FAQs

This verse states that hari-smṛti—remembrance of the Lord—is sarva-vipad-vimokṣaṇam, the deliverance from all calamities, because divine presence dispels fear and illusion.

Because the demons’ māyā appears real only while one is “asleep” in delusion; when the Lord’s superior potency manifests—like awakening—those illusions immediately vanish.

In anxiety or crisis, deliberately return the mind to Hari through japa, prayer, or hearing His names and pastimes; this steadies consciousness and cuts through panic and भ्रम (illusion).
