Translation

O Urgott, dessen Füße von Göttern und Unsterblichen verehrt werden: obgleich du jenseits aller Teilung bist, bist du die makellose, reine Wirklichkeit selbst.

FAQs

It presents the Supreme as indivisible and pure Reality, yet immanent as the inner Self of all beings and all cosmic principles—one essence appearing through many names and functions.

The verse supports contemplative Yoga (dhyana/jnana): meditate on the One Ishvara beyond divisions while recognizing the same Lord pervading all tattvas (Agni, Vayu, etc.), cultivating non-dual awareness alongside devotion.

By emphasizing a single, divisionless Supreme worshipped in many forms, it aligns with the Kurma Purana’s Shaiva–Vaishnava synthesis: sectarian names differ, but the indwelling Ishvara is one.
