Kāraṇa-vyākhyā: Cosmic Agents, Rudra-Forms, Sense-Purity, and Ānanda-Tāratamya
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच / दृष्ट्वा स्वबिंबं सुगुणैस्तु पूर्णं संकर्षणाख्यं नतपादपद्म् / श्रीब्रह्मशेषैर्जिष्णुकामैस्तथान्यैर्भारत्या वै स्वस्ति पैश्चापि नित्यम्
śrīkṛṣṇa uvāca / dṛṣṭvā svabiṃbaṃ suguṇaistu pūrṇaṃ saṃkarṣaṇākhyaṃ natapādapadm / śrībrahmaśeṣairjiṣṇukāmaistathānyairbhāratyā vai svasti paiścāpi nityam
Śrī Kṛṣṇa phán: Khi chiêm ngưỡng chính bóng dáng của Ngài—Saṅkarṣaṇa danh xưng—viên mãn mọi đức tướng cát tường, với đôi chân sen được cúi lạy, Ngài hằng được tôn xưng bằng lời chúc phúc bởi Brahmā và Śeṣa đáng tôn kính, bởi những kẻ cầu thắng lợi, và cả bởi Bhāratī (Sarasvatī) cùng các bậc ban an lành, không lúc nào ngơi.
Śrī Kṛṣṇa (as narrator/speaker within the Purāṇic dialogue)
Concept: Contemplation of the Lord’s auspicious qualities (suguṇa) and His lotus-feet leads to perpetual stuti by gods and seekers of victory.
Vedantic Theme: Saguna-brahman upāsanā: the Absolute approachable through divine attributes and forms; nāma–rūpa as a valid support for devotion.
Application: Practice guṇa-smaraṇa and pāda-sevā (mentally/ritually); adopt daily stuti/maṅgala-vācana; seek inner ‘jaya’ (victory over senses) through devotion.
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta

The verse highlights Saṅkarṣaṇa as a complete, auspicious divine manifestation revered by cosmic beings like Brahmā and Śeṣa, indicating His high theological status and worship-worthiness.
Indirectly, it frames liberation-oriented teaching by centering devotion and reverence to the divine form (Saṅkarṣaṇa); such stuti and remembrance are presented across Purāṇas as supportive of spiritual progress.
Cultivate daily reverence—through prayer, recitation, and ethical living—anchoring the mind in auspicious divine qualities (suguṇa) and humility symbolized by bowing to the lotus-feet.
