The Account of Mohinī (Mohinī-kathanam): Ekādaśī Nirṇaya, Daśamī Boundary, and Aruṇodaya
विहाय तां यत्प्रिययोगभुक्तिं पादस्थिता सापि ह्यदृष्यरूपा । सत्यं हि ते नाम विशालनेत्रे यन्मोहिनीत्येव जनो ब्रवीति ॥ २६ ॥
vihāya tāṃ yatpriyayogabhuktiṃ pādasthitā sāpi hyadṛṣyarūpā | satyaṃ hi te nāma viśālanetre yanmohinītyeva jano bravīti || 26 ||
舍弃了那由与所爱相合而生的旧日享乐，她立于你足下——然而她的形相仍不可见。广目者啊，你的名号确实贴切，因为世人确实称你为“Mohinī”，迷惑众生的魅惑者。

FAQs
It highlights the irresistible, māyā-infused divine charm of Mohinī (Vishnu’s form): even what is “dear” and sought as enjoyment becomes secondary, and true refuge is pictured as standing at the Lord’s feet—where ordinary perception fails and the divine remains subtle (adṛśya).
Bhakti is implied through pāda-sevā (taking shelter at the feet): relinquishing pleasure-centered attachment and turning toward the Lord, recognizing that the Divine cannot be grasped by the senses alone, but is approached through surrender and praise (stuti).
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught directly in this verse; its practical takeaway is ethical-spiritual discipline—renunciation of sense-enjoyment and cultivation of devotion through remembrance and praise.
