FAQs
The verse reflects a nyāsa-style ritual mapping, where divine names are placed on specific body parts as part of orderly worship (āvāhana-krama), sacralizing the practitioner’s body for Vaiṣṇava devotion.
Pañcajana is a Vaiṣṇava epithet strongly linked to Viṣṇu’s conch (pañcajanya); here it functions as a sacred name invoked during the ritual placement on the body.
