यच्छ्रद्धया श्रुतवत्या य भक्त्या
संमृज्यमाने हृदयेऽवधाय ।
ज्ञानेन वैराग्यबलेन धीरा
व्रजेम तत्तेऽङ्घ्रिसरोजपीठम् ॥
yac chraddhayā śrutavatyā ca bhaktyā
sammṛjyamāne hṛdaye’vadhāya |
jñānena vairāgya-balena dhīrā
vrajema tat te’ṅghri-saroja-pīṭham ||
(Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 3.5.42)
“Meditating upon the seat of your lotus feet in our hearts fully purified by bhakti cultivated through hearing with śraddhā, and having become sagacious by virtue of jñāna and the strength of vairāgya, let us approach that [i.e., let us take shelter at that seat of your lotus feet].”
Commentary
Viśvanātha Cakravartīpāda in his Sārārtha-darśinī-ṭīkā comments that ‘by virtue of knowledge’ (jñānena) refers to taste of Bhagavān’s mādhurya (tan-mādhuryāsvāda-rūpeṇa) and vairāgya to indifference towards everything [else] (sarvatra vaitṛṣṇasya), both of which are attained by having experience in the heart of Bhagavān’s feet by virtue of bhakti which has been heard about from the mouth of guru (guru-mukhopadiṣṭaṁ).”
