Vāmana’s Advent, Aditi’s Hymn, Bali’s Gift, and the Mahatmya of Bhū-dāna
दत्त्वासनं च प्रक्षाल्य पादौ वामनरुपिणम् । सकुटुंबो वहन्मूर्ध्ना परमां मुदमाप्तवान् ॥ ७ ॥
dattvāsanaṃ ca prakṣālya pādau vāmanarupiṇam | sakuṭuṃbo vahanmūrdhnā paramāṃ mudamāptavān || 7 ||
Sau khi dâng chỗ ngồi và rửa chân cho đức Chúa đã hiện thân làm Vāmana, ông cùng toàn gia quyến đội Ngài lên đầu và đạt niềm hoan hỷ tối thượng.
Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches that honoring the Lord with reverent hospitality—offering a seat, washing His feet, and bowing with one’s head—brings the highest inner joy and divine grace.
Bhakti here is expressed as humble service (sevā): receiving Vishnu (as Vāmana) with āsana-dāna and pāda-prakṣālana, and placing Him above oneself—symbolically carrying Him on the head.
It reflects ritual conduct (kalpa-based practice) in pūjā/atithi-sevā: proper reception of a revered guest—offering a seat and washing the feet—used as a devotional rite in Vishnu worship.
