The Characteristics of Devotion to Hari
समस्तैः करणैर्युक्तो वर्त्ततेऽसौ यदा तदा । जाग्रदित्युच्यते सद्भिरन्तर्यामी सनातनः ॥ १५ ॥
samastaiḥ karaṇairyukto varttate'sau yadā tadā | jāgradityucyate sadbhirantaryāmī sanātanaḥ || 15 ||
Khi Đấng Antaryāmin vĩnh cửu—Chủ tể nội tại—vận hành cùng đầy đủ các căn (tri giác và hành động), thì các bậc hiền trí gọi trạng thái ấy là “thức” (jāgrat).
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in the dialogue on Self-knowledge)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
It identifies the waking state (jāgrat) as the condition in which the eternal Antaryāmin functions through the full set of faculties, guiding the seeker to recognize consciousness as the inner governor behind all activity.
By naming the Lord as Antaryāmin, it supports bhakti as remembrance and surrender to the indwelling ruler in daily waking life—seeing all perception and action as sustained by the Divine within.
It uses precise technical terminology (karaṇa, antaryāmin, jāgrat) aligned with śāstric analysis of cognition—useful for disciplined study (vyākaraṇa-based clarity of terms) and yogic self-observation of waking awareness.
