Translation

当至上主以无上威能踏入战场之时，阿修罗以诡计所造的幻术立刻消散，正如人一觉醒来，梦中的险难便止息。的确，只要忆念圣主哈利，便能从一切危难中解脱。

FAQs

This verse states that hari-smṛti—remembrance of the Lord—is sarva-vipad-vimokṣaṇam, the deliverance from all calamities, because divine presence dispels fear and illusion.

Because the demons’ māyā appears real only while one is “asleep” in delusion; when the Lord’s superior potency manifests—like awakening—those illusions immediately vanish.

In anxiety or crisis, deliberately return the mind to Hari through japa, prayer, or hearing His names and pastimes; this steadies consciousness and cuts through panic and भ्रम (illusion).
