Translation

All Deine Haare sind Scharen von Göttern; die Linien Deiner Füße sind die Vidyādharas, o Herr. Die Veden mit all ihren Gliedern sind ganz in Dir gegründet, o Deva—ruhend in Deinen Gelenken, die wie mächtige Arme werden, welche das Ganze tragen.

FAQs

Scripture and the divine hosts are not separate from God; the Vedas themselves rest in Him, establishing His body as the ultimate ground of dharma.

The Revā (Narmadā) context frames the hymn, but this verse primarily glorifies the Lord’s all-containing form rather than a named tīrtha.

No direct prescription; it asserts Vedic authority as inherent in the Lord.
