Uttanka’s Viśvarūpa Request and the ‘Uttanka Clouds’ Boon (उत्तङ्क-विष्वरूप-दर्शनम्)
असच्च सदसच्चैव यद् विश्व सदसत् परम् । मत्त: परतरं नास्ति देवदेवात् सनातनात्,असत्ू, सदसत् तथा उससे भी परे जो अव्यक्त जगत् है, वह भी मुझ सनातन देवाधिदेवसे पृथक् नहीं है
asac ca sad asac caiva yad viśvaṃ sad-asat param | mattaḥ parataraṃ nāsti devadevātsanātanāt ||
এই বিশ্বে যা অসৎ এবং যা সৎ—এমনকি সৎ-অসৎ উভয়েরও অতীত যে পরম অব্যক্ত তত্ত্ব—সেটিও আমার, চিরন্তন দেবদেবের, থেকে পৃথক নয়। আমার ঊর্ধ্বে আর কিছু নেই।
वायुदेव उवाच
The verse asserts the absolute supremacy and all-pervasiveness of the eternal ‘God of gods’: everything classed as real (sat), unreal (asat), and even what is beyond both (param, the unmanifest) is not separate from that supreme principle; nothing higher exists.
Vāyudeva is speaking in a doctrinal register, proclaiming a highest theological claim: the entire cosmos—manifest and unmanifest—is encompassed within and non-different from the supreme divine reality he identifies with.
