Mokṣopāya: Bhakti-rooted Jñāna and the Aṣṭāṅga Yoga of Viṣṇu-Meditation
नारायणं परानन्दं स्मरेत्प्रणवसंस्थितम् । नादरुपमनौपम्यमर्द्धमात्रोपरिस्थितम् ॥ ५४ ॥
nārāyaṇaṃ parānandaṃ smaretpraṇavasaṃsthitam | nādarupamanaupamyamarddhamātroparisthitam || 54 ||
应当观想那罗延那——至上安乐者——安住于圣音“唵”(Praṇava)之中;其体为微妙之声(nāda),无可比拟,立于半音(ardha-mātrā)之上。

It identifies Nārāyaṇa as the Supreme Bliss realized through contemplation of Oṃ, pointing to a meditative path where the deity is known as the subtle nāda beyond ordinary speech.
Bhakti here is expressed as smaraṇa (remembrance): meditating on Nārāyaṇa within the Praṇava, devotion becomes an inward, continuous recollection leading toward liberation.
It reflects Śikṣā (phonetics) and mantra-science by referencing mātrā (syllabic measure) and the Praṇava’s subtle articulation, indicating meditation that transcends audible sound into nāda.
