Auspicious is Lord Vishnu, auspicious is the one who has Garuda on his flag. Auspicious is the lotus-eyed one, may Lord Hari bestow auspiciousness upon us. Garudadhwaja refers to Vishnu as the one whose emblem is Garuda (the divine eagle/bird who serves as Vishnu's mount). Garuḍa symbolizes speed, strength, and devotion. The sight of Garuḍa itself is considered a sign of protection and auspiciousness. Puṇḍarīkākṣaḥ means 'The lotus-eyed one.' The Lotus symbolizes purity, spiritual awakening, and detachment. Lord Vishnu’s lotus eyes reflect His compassionate gaze upon all living beings. Seeing His eyes is believed to dissolve fear and bring inner peace and well-being. Hariḥ is the one who removes all sins and suffering. Chanting His name or contemplating His divine form removes ignorance and suffering, paving the way for spiritual progress and liberation (mokṣa).
maṅgalaṃ bhagavān viṣṇuḥ maṅgalaṃ garuḍadhvajaḥ . maṅgalaṃ puṇḍarīkākṣo maṅgalāya tano hariḥ .. This verse is borrowed from the Vishnu Sahasranama.
