Devanagari script

दृष्ट्वा हरिं पुलकाङ्गस्तु रुद्रः सभाष्पचक्षू रुद्धकण्ठश्च हृष्टः / अनाद्यनन्तब्रह्मकल्पेषु नैव कृतं यया स्मरणं सर्वदैव

Transliteration

dṛṣṭvā hariṃ pulakāṅgastu rudraḥ sabhāṣpacakṣū ruddhakaṇṭhaśca hṛṣṭaḥ / anādyanantabrahmakalpeṣu naiva kṛtaṃ yayā smaraṇaṃ sarvadaiva

Translation

Thấy Hari, toàn thân Rudra nổi gai ốc; mắt đẫm lệ, cổ nghẹn lời, lòng hân hoan. Bởi trong những chu kỳ Brahmā vô thủy vô chung, chưa từng có lần nào ông nhớ đến Ngài như thế—một cách thường hằng.

Narrator (Purana’s storyteller describing Rudra’s reaction on seeing Hari)

Philosophical Teaching

Concept: Darśana of Hari awakens bhāva-bhakti with sāttvika-vikāras; true smaraṇa can arise as a grace-event beyond ordinary time.

Vedantic Theme: Īśvara-anugraha as the catalyst for bhakti; the heart’s transformation (antaḥkaraṇa-śuddhi) evidenced by spontaneous devotion.

Application: Value moments of genuine remembrance; cultivate conditions for bhakti (japa, stotra, satsanga) while recognizing grace as decisive.

Verse Rasa

Primary Rasa: karuna

Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

FAQs

This verse presents darshana as a transformative devotional event, producing classical bhakti signs—tears, horripilation, and a choked voice—showing the soul’s deep awakening toward Hari.

Even exalted beings like Rudra are depicted as overwhelmed by remembrance of Hari, emphasizing that liberation-oriented wisdom is fulfilled through sustained smaraṇa (remembrance) and devotion across cosmic time.

Cultivate daily smaraṇa—japa, nama-sankirtana, or contemplative remembrance—so devotion becomes steady rather than occasional, turning spiritual practice into an “always” discipline.
