द्विबाहुरीशस्य पदाभिवं दनः समस्तगात्राभरणोपपन्नः । प्रसन्नमूर्तिस्तरुणः सुमध्ये विन्यस्तमूर्द्ध्वांजलिभिः शिरोभिः ॥ १३१ ॥
dvibāhurīśasya padābhivaṃ danaḥ samastagātrābharaṇopapannaḥ | prasannamūrtistaruṇaḥ sumadhye vinyastamūrddhvāṃjalibhiḥ śirobhiḥ || 131 ||
Chàng cúi lạy dưới chân Đấng Chúa hai tay; toàn thân trang sức rực rỡ, tuổi trẻ, eo thon duyên dáng, dung mạo an hòa—đứng chắp tay cung kính, đầu nghiêng trong lòng sùng kính.
Narada (narrating within the dialogue with Sanatkumara)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It portrays the classic bhakti posture—pāda-vandanā (reverence to the Lord’s feet) with añjali—showing that inner serenity and outward humility are central marks of devotional approach to Hari.
Bhakti is expressed through embodied reverence: bowing, joining the palms, and approaching the Lord with a calm, pleased mind—indicating surrender (praṇipāta) and loving respect (vandanā).
While not teaching a specific Vedāṅga rule directly, it reflects śrauta-smārta worship decorum—proper gesture (añjali), respectful salutation (abhivandana), and disciplined bodily conduct used in ritual and devotional practice.
