The Recitation of the Thousand Names of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa (Yugala-Sahasranāma) and Śaraṇāgati-Dharma
श्रीकृष्णं नित्यलीलास्थं चिंतयेत्स्वधियानिशम् । श्रीमदर्चावतारेण कृष्णं परिचरेत्सदा ॥ २० ॥
śrīkṛṣṇaṃ nityalīlāsthaṃ ciṃtayetsvadhiyāniśam | śrīmadarcāvatāreṇa kṛṣṇaṃ paricaretsadā || 20 ||
Với chính tâm mình, hãy hằng niệm tưởng Śrī Kṛṣṇa—Đấng luôn an trụ trong cuộc hí lạc thần linh vĩnh cửu—suốt đêm ngày (tức liên tục). Và qua arcā-avatāra cát tường (Thánh tượng đã được an vị), hãy luôn phụng sự Kṛṣṇa.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in a Bhakti-oriented instruction within the technical/ritual context of Book 1.3)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It unites inner practice (constant remembrance of Kṛṣṇa’s nitya-līlā) with outer practice (service to His arcā-avatāra), presenting devotion as both meditation and disciplined worship.
Bhakti is shown as uninterrupted contemplation (cintana) and steady service (paricaryā) to the deity form, making devotion continuous rather than occasional.
It points to applied ritual discipline—arcā worship and paricaryā—where correct procedure, mantra use, and purity norms (aligned with Kalpa/ritual science) support sustained devotion.
