What the purport teaches
- Lord Viṣṇu holds the club, lotus, conch and disc.
- Lord Madhusūdana holds the disc, conch, lotus and club.
- Lord Madhusūdana’s listed order is the reverse of Lord Viṣṇu’s listed order.
Try this today

Does noticing the reversed order help me remember these two arrangements?
