Bhakti-Śraddhā-Ācāra-Māhātmya and the Commencement of the Mārkaṇḍeya Narrative
जय देवाधिदेवेश जय शङ्खगदाधर । जयो लोकस्वरुपाय जयो ब्रह्माण्डहेतवे ॥ ५६ ॥
jaya devādhideveśa jaya śaṅkhagadādhara | jayo lokasvarupāya jayo brahmāṇḍahetave || 56 ||
Khải hoàn thay Ngài, Chúa tể trên chư thiên, Đấng Tối Thượng! Khải hoàn thay Ngài, bậc cầm tù và chùy. Khải hoàn thay Ngài, hiện thân của muôn thế giới; khải hoàn thay Ngài, nguyên nhân của trứng vũ trụ (brahmāṇḍa).
Narada (in praise of Vishnu, within the Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue frame)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: vira
It affirms Vishnu as both immanent (the very form of the worlds) and transcendent (the ultimate cause of the universe), guiding the devotee to see all existence as rooted in the Supreme.
By repeatedly proclaiming “jaya,” it models stuti (praise) as a direct bhakti practice—remembering the Lord’s attributes (His weapons and cosmic causality) to stabilize devotion and surrender.
No specific Vedanga technique is taught in this verse; it primarily functions as stotra-style praise, though it uses precise theological vocabulary (svarūpa, hetu) common in Purana-based teaching.
