Kapardeśvara at Piśācamocana — Liberation of a Piśāca and the Brahmapāra Hymn
स्तुवन्ति सिद्धा दिवि देवसङ्घा नृत्यन्ति दिव्याप्सरसो ऽभिरामाः / मुञ्चन्ति वृष्टिं कुसुमाम्बुमिश्रां गन्धर्वविद्याधरकिंनराद्याः
stuvanti siddhā divi devasaṅghā nṛtyanti divyāpsaraso 'bhirāmāḥ / muñcanti vṛṣṭiṃ kusumāmbumiśrāṃ gandharvavidyādharakiṃnarādyāḥ
In heaven, the perfected Siddhas and the hosts of gods sing praises; the lovely celestial Apsarases dance. Gandharvas, Vidyādharas, Kinnaras, and the rest shower down a rain mingled with flowers and water.

FAQs
Indirectly: the cosmic celebration signifies divine assent to dharma and devotion—when the Supreme is approached through right conduct and praise, the entire order (devas, siddhas) mirrors that harmony, implying an underlying spiritual unity governing the worlds.
The verse does not list techniques, but it highlights stuti (hymnic praise) and the fruits of tapas and yogic attainment (Siddhas). In the Kurma Purana’s broader teaching, such divine signs typically accompany disciplined sadhana—self-restraint, devotion, and contemplative steadiness.
Not explicitly; however, the Purana’s synthesis frames such celestial praise as directed toward the one Supreme Lord honored in multiple forms—supporting the text’s non-sectarian (Shaiva–Vaishnava) theological tone.
