The Recitation of the Thousand Names of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa (Yugala-Sahasranāma) and Śaraṇāgati-Dharma
गोपकन्यावस्त्रहारी गोपकन्यावरप्रदः । यज्ञपत्न्यन्नभोजी च मुनिमानापहारकः ॥ ६६ ॥
gopakanyāvastrahārī gopakanyāvarapradaḥ | yajñapatnyannabhojī ca munimānāpahārakaḥ || 66 ||
Ngài là Đấng lấy y phục của các thiếu nữ mục đồng; Đấng ban ân phúc cho các thiếu nữ mục đồng; Đấng thọ thực món ăn của các phu nhân những người tế lễ; và Đấng làm tiêu tan ngã mạn của các bậc hiền triết.
Narada (in a didactic listing of divine epithets within the Narada Purana’s instructional flow)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: hasya
The verse strings together Krishna’s well-known līlās as theological markers: He tests and refines devotion (gopīs), redirects ritualism toward bhakti (yajñapatnīs), and dismantles spiritual pride (munis), showing that surrender and humility are central to dharma.
By recalling episodes where Krishna becomes the sole refuge—of the gopīs, the yajña-wives, and even accomplished sages—the verse teaches that bhakti matures when ego and mere external performance are replaced by wholehearted dependence on the Lord.
It indirectly critiques ritual-only yajña practice by highlighting the yajñapatnī episode: correct ritual orientation requires understanding purpose (yajña-artha) and right intention—aligning karma-kāṇḍa with devotion—an applied takeaway relevant to Kalpa (ritual procedure) and Dharma-śāstra frameworks.
