The Sumanā Episode: Suvrata’s Childhood Devotion and All-Activity Remembrance of Hari
पश्यत्येवं वदत्येवं जगन्नाथं जनार्दनम् । स ध्यायते तमेकं हि विश्वनाथं महेश्वरम्
paśyatyevaṃ vadatyevaṃ jagannāthaṃ janārdanam | sa dhyāyate tamekaṃ hi viśvanāthaṃ maheśvaram
如是观见、如是称说世主Jagannātha、护众者Janārdana；他唯独禅念那一位——Viśvanātha，伟大的主宰Maheśvara。
Unclear from single-verse context (likely a narrator within the Bhūmi-khaṇḍa dialogue frame).
Concept: Seeing and speaking the Lord’s names culminates in ekāgratā—meditation on the One Supreme.
Application: Begin the day with deliberate nāma-ucchāraṇa (speaking the Lord’s names) and a short, single-pointed meditation; let speech become a bridge into silence.

FAQs
Yes. It names Viṣṇu as Jagannātha/Janārdana and then says the devotee meditates on the One as Viśvanātha/Maheśvara, expressing a Hari–Hara non-sectarian theological tone.
Dhyāna (meditative contemplation): after seeing and speaking of the Lord, the practitioner fixes the mind on the One supreme divinity.
Steady devotion: let perception (seeing), speech (praising), and mind (meditation) converge on the divine—recognizing the One Lord beyond sectarian labels.
