Devī-tattva, Śakti–Śaktimān doctrine, Kāla–Māyā cosmology, and Māheśvara Yoga instruction
शान्तिः प्रतिष्ठा सर्वेषां निवृत्तिरमृतप्रदा / व्योममूर्तिर्व्योमलया व्योमाधाराच्युतामरा
śāntiḥ pratiṣṭhā sarveṣāṃ nivṛttiramṛtapradā / vyomamūrtirvyomalayā vyomādhārācyutāmarā
هي السَّلام بعينه—الأساس الراسخ للجميع؛ وهي قوة النِّفْرِتّي (nivṛtti)، قوة الانسحاب والرجوع التي تمنح الخلود. صورتها كالسّماء الفسيحة؛ وتذوب في المطلق الشبيه بالسماء؛ وهي قائمة على ڤيُوما (vyoma)—فضاء الوعي الخالص—الإلهية التي لا تفنى ولا تموت.
Lord Kūrma (Vishnu) teaching in the Īśvara-gītā context
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It presents the Supreme as śānti and vyoma—peaceful, all-pervading, space-like consciousness that is the substratum of all and the source of immortality through inner cessation (nivṛtti).
The verse emphasizes nivṛtti—turning inward, withdrawing from sense-driven activity—leading to amṛta (deathlessness). This aligns with Īśvara-gītā style contemplation on the sky-like, all-pervading Reality as a meditative support.
By using shared non-dual terminology (śānti, vyoma, amṛta, acyuta/imperishable), it frames the Supreme beyond sectarian limits—consistent with the Kurma Purana’s Shaiva-Vaishnava synthesis where one Reality is taught through multiple divine names.
