Varaha Purana 89.36: Adhyaya 89, Shloka 36
The Hierarchy of the Trimūrti and the Manifestation of the Goddess Trikalā
यत्किञ्चिद् वाङ्मयं लोके जगत्स्थावरजङ्गमम् । तत्सर्वं स्थापितं सृष्ट्या भूतं भव्यं च सर्वदा ॥
yatkiñcid vāṅmayaṃ loke jagat sthāvarajaṅgamam | tatsarvaṃ sthāpitaṃ sṛṣṭyā bhūtaṃ bhavyaṃ ca sarvadā ||
Cuanto hay en el mundo como expresión articulada (vāṅmaya)—el universo de lo inmóvil y lo móvil—todo ello ha sido establecido por la creación, como lo que fue y lo que será, en todo tiempo.

Cosmic Boar Symbolism: {"has_symbolism":true,"symbolic_interpretation":"The verse sacralizes vāṅmaya (articulated expression) as coextensive with the created cosmos: language, naming, and world-order arise together. In Yajña-Varāha theology, the Lord is the ground of both vāk (mantra) and jagat (manifestation).","yajna_varaha_imagery":"Implied mantra-cosmos identity: ‘vāṅmaya’ suggests the world as mantra-text; creation ‘sets in place’ (sthāpitam) like a ritual arrangement where sound (chandas/mantra) stabilizes time (bhūta-bhavya).","vedantic_connection":"Aligns with śabda-brahman / nāma-rūpa: the universe is intelligible through vāk, yet vāk itself is a manifestation within the absolute; time (past/future) is encompassed by the sustaining reality."}
Philosophical Teaching: {"has_teaching":true,"teaching_type":"philosophy of language/ontology","core_concept":"All articulated expression and all beings—moving and unmoving—are established by creation across time, integrating language, world, and temporality into one ordered whole.","practical_application":"Use disciplined speech (satya, mantra-japa, scriptural study) as a way to align with cosmic order; treat words as ethically potent because they participate in world-structure."}

FAQs
It links cosmic order with articulability (vāṅmaya), echoing broader Indic ideas where language and categorization help stabilize a knowable cosmos.
None; the verse is universal in scope.
A philosophical instruction: recognize continuity across past and future (bhūta/bhavya) and treat all forms of life as part of an ordered whole.
