Mokṣopāya: Bhakti-rooted Jñāna and the Aṣṭāṅga Yoga of Viṣṇu-Meditation
दीर्घबाहुमुदाराङ्गं सर्वालङ्कारभृषितम् । पीताम्बरधरं देवं हेमयज्ञोपवीतिनम् ॥ ३५ ॥
dīrghabāhumudārāṅgaṃ sarvālaṅkārabhṛṣitam | pītāmbaradharaṃ devaṃ hemayajñopavītinam || 35 ||
Ngài tay dài, thân tướng cao quý, được trang sức bằng mọi thứ bảo sức; vị Thiên Thần rực sáng khoác y vàng (pītāmbara), mang dây thiêng yajñopavīta bằng vàng.
Narada (describing the Lord for dhyāna, within the Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue frame)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti (devotion)
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta (wonder)
It provides a dhyāna-lakṣaṇa (meditative template) of Vishnu—guiding the devotee to steady the mind by contemplating the Lord’s auspicious form, ornaments, and sacred insignia.
By focusing devotion through concrete remembrance (smaraṇa) and visualization (dhyāna) of Vishnu’s compassionate, majestic form—an accessible practice that nurtures loving attention and inner absorption.
It aligns with kalpa/prayoga sensibilities: the mention of yajñopavīta and devotional dhyāna supports ritual-meditative discipline used in pūjā and vrata observances centered on Vishnu.
