guhyavidyātmavidyā ca dharmavidyātmabhāvitā / svāhā viśvaṃbharā siddhiḥ svadhā medhā dhṛtiḥ śrutiḥ
هي العلمُ الخفيّ ومعرفةُ الذات؛ وهي معرفةُ الدَّرما المشبعةُ بالتحقّق الباطني. وهي سْفاهَا (Svāhā)؛ حاملةُ الكون؛ وهي السِّدهي (siddhi) أي تمامُ الإنجاز. وهي سْفَدها (Svadhā)؛ وهي المِدها (medhā) أي الذكاء؛ وهي الدِّهرتي (dhṛti) أي الثبات؛ وهي الشُّروتي (śruti) أي الوحيُ المسموع المقدّس.
Lord Kūrma (Viṣṇu) teaching in the Ishvara Gita section
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
By identifying the Divine as ātma-vidyā (Self-knowledge) itself, the verse frames liberation as inward realization—where true knowledge is not merely doctrinal but ātma-bhāvitā, spiritually assimilated.
The verse emphasizes ātma-vidyā and ātma-bhāvitā—knowledge matured through inner contemplation—leading to siddhi (attainment). In the Ishvara Gita’s Pāśupata-oriented tone, this points to disciplined practice where insight, steadiness (dhṛti), and scriptural listening (śruti) support realization.
In the Ishvara Gita’s synthetic theology, the same supreme Divine power is presented as both Vedic-sacrificial (Svāhā/Svadhā) and yogic-gnostic (ātma-vidyā/siddhi), aligning Śaiva and Vaiṣṇava paths as complementary expressions of one Reality.
