The Sumanā Episode: Suvrata’s Childhood Devotion and All-Activity Remembrance of Hari
सममेवं प्रगंतव्यमावाभ्यां मधुसूदन । एवमेव समाह्वानं नामभिश्च हरेर्द्विजः
samamevaṃ pragaṃtavyamāvābhyāṃ madhusūdana | evameva samāhvānaṃ nāmabhiśca harerdvijaḥ
“Ôi Madhusūdana, chúng ta hai người hãy tiến bước đúng như thế. Cũng vậy, bậc nhị sinh nên thỉnh gọi Hari theo cùng cách ấy, bằng cách xưng niệm các Danh hiệu của Ngài.”
Unspecified in the provided excerpt (context needed from surrounding verses to confirm the dialogue pair)
Concept: As one calls Madhusūdana familiarly and consistently, so should a dvija invoke Hari through His many names—nāma as a disciplined, repeatable method.
Application: Choose a set of Viṣṇu names (e.g., Keśava, Mādhava, Hari) and weave them into daily transitions—starting travel, beginning study, before meals.

FAQs
The verse emphasizes invoking Hari (Vishnu) through His names—i.e., name-recitation or devotional calling (nāma-samāhvāna / nāma-japa).
“Dvija” literally means “twice-born” and commonly refers to the initiated members of the traditional varṇa system (especially Brahmins), indicating those qualified for formal religious recitation and ritual practice.
It teaches consistency and correctness in devotional method: one should proceed with steadiness and invoke the Divine as instructed—through sincere remembrance and repetition of the Lord’s names.
