Bali Mahārāja Upholds Truth; Vāmana Reveals the Universal Form and Takes the Two Steps
विन्ध्यावलिस्तदागत्य पत्नी जालकमालिनी । आनिन्ये कलशं हैममवनेजन्यपां भृतम् ॥ १७ ॥
vindhyāvalis tadāgatya patnī jālaka-mālinī āninye kalaśaṁ haimam avanejany-apāṁ bhṛtam
Khi ấy Vindhyāvalī, hoàng hậu của Bali Mahārāja, được trang sức bằng chuỗi ngọc trai, liền đến ngay và cho mang tới một bình nước vàng lớn, đầy nước để thờ phụng Chúa bằng nghi thức rửa chân Ngài.
This verse highlights that devotional service is expressed through practical, respectful acts—here, bringing water for washing—showing readiness to serve and honor sacred duty.
Vindhyāvalī is identified here as the wife connected with Jālakamālī; she appears in the narrative as a supporting character who assists by bringing a golden pot filled with washing water.
Offer sincere service in small, tangible ways—cleanliness, preparation, and helpfulness—seeing such acts as part of bhakti rather than mere formality.
