The Greatness of Viṣṇu
Uttaṅka’s Hymn, Hari’s Manifestation, and the Boon of Bhakti
किं मां मोहयसीश त्वं किमन्यैर्देव मे वरैः । त्वयि भक्तिर्दृढा मेऽस्तु जन्मजन्मान्तरेष्वपि ॥ ४७ ॥
kiṃ māṃ mohayasīśa tvaṃ kimanyairdeva me varaiḥ | tvayi bhaktirdṛḍhā me'stu janmajanmāntareṣvapi || 47 ||
Ôi Chúa tể! Vì sao Ngài làm con mê lầm? Ôi Thần linh, mọi ân huệ khác có ích gì cho con? Xin cho lòng bhakti của con đối với Ngài được kiên cố, dù qua hết kiếp này đến kiếp khác.
A devotee addressing the Lord (Īśa/Deva), within the Narada Purana’s bhakti-oriented dialogue stream
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It elevates bhakti above all other attainments, showing that the highest “boon” is unwavering devotion to the Lord, sustained across successive births.
It portrays pure devotion (ananya-bhakti): the devotee refuses secondary rewards and asks only for dṛḍha-bhakti—steady, exclusive attachment to the Lord as the enduring spiritual practice.
No specific Vedanga (Śikṣā, Vyākaraṇa, Chandas, Nirukta, Jyotiṣa, Kalpa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is devotional priority—choose sādhanā of bhakti over desire-driven requests.
