Translation
O most fortunate lady! Worship unchanging Keśava, with pure, controlled mind, following all these rules.
Personal Guidance
Most fortunate lady — establish your mind well and execute the payo-vrata, worshipping the inexhaustible Keśava. Mental orientation matters as much as the outer practice. 'Set your mind' before you set your altar.
Reflection Questions
- Where do I begin practice without first 'setting my mind'?
- What mental preparation would change the effect of even my current routine?
