Haristuti-saṅgraha: Devatā–Ṛṣi Praṇāma, Nāma-māhātmya, and Vairāgya from Deha-āsakti
वसिष्ठ उवाच / नमोस्तु तस्मै पुरुषाय वेधसे नमोनमो ऽसद्वृजिनच्छिदे नमः / नमोनमो स्वाङ्गभवाय नित्यं नतोस्मि हेनाथ तवाङ्घ्रिपङ्कजम्
vasiṣṭha uvāca / namostu tasmai puruṣāya vedhase namonamo 'sadvṛjinacchide namaḥ / namonamo svāṅgabhavāya nityaṃ natosmi henātha tavāṅghripaṅkajam
Vasiṣṭha thưa: Kính lễ Đấng Tối Thượng, Purusha, Đấng Sáng Tạo (Vedhas). Kính lễ, kính lễ Đấng đoạn trừ điều ác và tội lỗi. Kính lễ mãi mãi Đấng tự sinh từ chính bản thể của Ngài. Ôi Chúa Tể, con cúi đầu đảnh lễ dưới đôi chân sen của Ngài.
Vasiṣṭha
Concept: Repeated salutations and surrender to the self-born Supreme Person who cuts sin and evil.
Vedantic Theme: Ishvara as the supreme cause (nimitta/upadana in devotional framing) and purifier; refuge in Bhagavan’s feet as the means for inner purification.
Application: Adopt daily namaskara/stotra practice, especially at dawn/dusk; cultivate remembrance of the Lord as papa-hara and consciously ‘place’ the mind at the lotus feet during moral struggle.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

This verse frames liberation and protection as rooted in surrender to the Lord who cuts off pāpa (sin) and adharma; it presents devotion (stuti) as a purifier that supports right conduct and spiritual progress.
Rather than describing punishments or after-death routes, it establishes the spiritual foundation: refuge at the Lord’s lotus feet and reliance on the divine remover of evil, which is presented as the antidote to the consequences of wrongdoing.
Use the verse as a daily prayer of humility—pairing remembrance of the Creator with a commitment to avoid harmful actions—so devotion and ethics reinforce each other.
