Yama’s Journey to Brahmaloka
Ekadashi–Dvadashi Mahatmya in the Rukmangada Cycle
वेदाश्रयं जगद्बीजं सर्वेषां प्रपितामहम् । स्वभवं भूतनिलयमोंकाराख्यमकल्मषम् ॥ ४० ॥
vedāśrayaṃ jagadbījaṃ sarveṣāṃ prapitāmaham | svabhavaṃ bhūtanilayamoṃkārākhyamakalmaṣam || 40 ||
তেওঁ বেদৰ আশ্ৰয়, জগতৰ বীজ আৰু সকলোৰে প্ৰপিতামহ। স্বয়ম্ভূ, সকলো ভূতৰ নিলয়—‘ওঁকাৰ’ নামে প্ৰসিদ্ধ, নিৰ্মল আৰু নিষ্কলুষ।
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It identifies the Supreme as the Vedic foundation and the cosmic seed, revealing Oṃkāra as His pure, self-existent designation—meditation on which leads the mind toward liberation.
By presenting Oṃkāra as the stainless name-form of the Supreme, it supports devotional remembrance and mantra-oriented worship where the devotee anchors the heart in the Vedic source of all beings.
The verse points to mantra-principles central to Śikṣā (phonetics) and Chandas (meter): correct articulation and contemplative use of Oṃ as the foundational sacred syllable in Vedic recitation and worship.
