Variant-Resolution Frame
सर्वऋद्धिसमायुक्ता सर्वसिद्धिसमन्विता । तस्यामास्ते सदा देवो योगज्ञो योगवित्तमः
sarvaṛddhisamāyuktā sarvasiddhisamanvitā | tasyāmāste sadā devo yogajño yogavittamaḥ
Mit aller Fülle des Gedeihens ausgestattet und von allen Siddhis begleitet, weilt in ihr stets der Herr — Kenner des Yoga und der Höchste unter denen, die Yoga wahrhaft verstehen.
Unspecified (narrative voice; verse excerpt lacks explicit dialogue markers)
Concept: Where Bhagavān abides, prosperity and spiritual attainments become harmonized; the Lord is the true knower and source of yoga.
Application: Seek ‘yoga’ as steadiness in devotion—daily nāma-japa and offering of food; treat worldly prosperity as service-capital (seva) rather than identity.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: सर्व+ऋद्धि→सर्वऋद्धि; तस्याम्+आस्ते→तस्यामास्ते; देवः+योगज्ञः→देवो योगज्ञः
The verse refers to “devaḥ” (the Lord) as yogajña and yogavittama—one who knows Yoga and is the foremost authority on it—though the specific deity is not named in this excerpt.
Ṛddhi denotes worldly prosperity or flourishing abundance, while siddhi denotes spiritual attainments or extraordinary accomplishments; the verse says the described locus/person is endowed with both in fullness.
It emphasizes divine indwelling: where complete prosperity and spiritual attainment are present, the Lord—supreme knower of Yoga—abides continually, implying that true fulfillment is grounded in divine presence and yogic wisdom.
