Īśvara-Gītā (continued): Twofold Yoga, Aṣṭāṅga Discipline, Pāśupata Meditation, and the Unity of Nārāyaṇa–Maheśvara
सर्वं लिङ्गमयं ह्येतत् सर्वं लिङ्गे प्रतिष्ठितम् / तस्माल्लिङ्गे ऽर्चयेदीशं यत्र क्वचन शाश्वतम्
sarvaṃ liṅgamayaṃ hyetat sarvaṃ liṅge pratiṣṭhitam / tasmālliṅge 'rcayedīśaṃ yatra kvacana śāśvatam
حقًّا إنّ هذا كلَّه لِنگامَيّ؛ وكلُّ شيءٍ قائمٌ في اللِّنگا. فلذلك ينبغي أن يُعبَد الربّ الأزلي في اللِّنگا—حيثما كان المرء وفي كلّ حين—بوصفه الحقيقة الدائمة الحضور.
Lord Kurma (Vishnu) teaching the Ishvara Gita in a Shaiva-Vaishnava synthesis
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It presents the Liṅga as the all-pervading ground in which everything is established, pointing to Īśvara as the eternal reality underlying the entire manifestation.
The verse emphasizes upāsanā (devotional-contemplative worship) centered on the Liṅga—treating ritual worship as a yogic focus for steady remembrance of Īśvara anywhere and at any time.
With Lord Kurma teaching Liṅga-upāsanā, the text frames worship of Śiva’s Liṅga as worship of the same supreme Īśvara, reflecting the Kurma Purana’s integrative Shaiva–Vaishnava theology.
