ध्यातुमिच्छति षड्वक्त्रं यो मां भक्तिपरायणः । स करोतु महाभक्त्या द्वादश्यां जागरं हरेः
dhyātumicchati ṣaḍvaktraṃ yo māṃ bhaktiparāyaṇaḥ | sa karotu mahābhaktyā dvādaśyāṃ jāgaraṃ hareḥ
Ai nương trọn nơi bhakti, muốn quán niệm về Ta—Đấng Sáu Mặt—thì người ấy hãy với đại tín tâm mà giữ đêm canh cho Hari vào ngày Dvādaśī.
Skanda (self-reference as ṣaḍvaktra)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Listener: Skanda’s devotees (bhakti-parāyaṇas)
Scene: Skanda, six-faced and radiant, addresses devotees, instructing them to keep Hari’s Dvādaśī vigil; in the background, a shrine of Hari glows through the night, symbolizing unity of worship.
Devotion harmonizes sectarian aims: one who seeks Skanda’s grace is directed to Hari’s Dvādaśī night-vigil as a supreme bhakti-practice.
Dvārakā is the setting, as this instruction occurs in the Dvārakā Māhātmya.
Keep Hari’s jāgara on Dvādaśī with mahā-bhakti.
