Educational Q&A
True devotion is directed toward the highest divine principle—one who stands above even the cosmic progenitors and is acknowledged by all gods—thereby aligning reverence with dharmic hierarchy and cosmic order.
Vaiśaṃpāyana offers a laudatory description (stuti) of Hṛṣīkeśa/Viṣṇu-Kṛṣṇa, listing epithets that establish his supremacy, protective role, and universal worship.
