Brahmavākya
Brahmā’s Pronouncement on Hari-nāma and the Non-punishability of Viṣṇu’s Devotees
ब्राह्मणः श्वपचीं गच्छन् विशेषेण रजस्वलाम् । अन्नमश्नन्सुरापक्वं मरणे यो हरिं स्मरेत् ॥ ५ ॥
brāhmaṇaḥ śvapacīṃ gacchan viśeṣeṇa rajasvalām | annamaśnansurāpakvaṃ maraṇe yo hariṃ smaret || 5 ||
即使一位婆罗门与食犬者之族的女子相交——尤其在她经期之时——又即使食用以酒烹煮之食;若在临终之际忆念哈利(毗湿奴),亦得解脱救度。
Suta (narrating the teaching attributed to Narada’s Vishnu-bhakti emphasis)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: karuna
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches the supremacy of Hari-smṛti (remembering Viṣṇu), stating that even severe transgressions do not obstruct liberation if one’s final consciousness rests on Hari.
Bhakti is presented as decisive at the final moment: sincere remembrance of Hari at death is portrayed as a saving act that overrides accumulated demerit, emphasizing inner devotion over mere external status.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught; rather, it reinforces Dharma-śāstra categories of impurity/transgression and frames them within a bhakti-centered conclusion—Hari-smaraṇa as the highest remedial principle.
