Trong các cách nói lặp lại (vīpsā) và trong những dấu hiệu nhấn mạnh hay xác quyết, tiểu từ “anu” được dùng với nghĩa “mọi phần / khắp nơi”. Lại nữa, trong các ngữ cảnh theo sau và nơi chủ ý một nghĩa chung—hoặc dù có điều được để ngầm—cách dùng này được dạy gọi là “anūpa”.
Lord Vishnu (teaching Garuda/Vinata-putra)
Concept: Śāstra-jñāna through correct linguistic markers (vīpsā, sthambhāva/niścaya-cihna) and the distributive sense of ‘anu’ (throughout, in every part).
Vedantic Theme: Śabda-pramāṇa and disciplined interpretation (arthaniścaya) as a support for right understanding.
Application: Use ‘anu’ to convey distributive/repetitive force (‘throughout/each’) and recognize when shared meaning or ellipsis is intended, to avoid misreading ritual, dharma, or narrative passages.
Primary Rasa: shanta

FAQs
This verse highlights that repetition can carry a distributive meaning (“each, throughout”), guiding how a reader applies a statement across multiple cases rather than as a single instance.
Indirectly: it provides a grammatical rule used to read other afterlife-related passages correctly, especially where meanings are distributed across stages, realms, or repeated ritual acts.
When studying or reciting Garuda Purana, treat repeated or distributive phrases carefully—many instructions are meant to apply “in each case” or “throughout,” not only once.
