Shloka 74

The Liberation of the Lizard

Godhā-vimukti

Devanagari script

यद्योगिगम्यं हुतभुक्प्रकाशं वरं वरेण्यं परमात्मभूतम् । तम्मादियं चैव शिखिप्रदीपा जगत्प्रकाशाय नृपप्रसूता ॥ ७४ ॥

Transliteration

yadyogigamyaṃ hutabhukprakāśaṃ varaṃ vareṇyaṃ paramātmabhūtam | tammādiyaṃ caiva śikhipradīpā jagatprakāśāya nṛpaprasūtā || 74 ||

Translation

Cette Réalité suprême—la meilleure, la plus digne d’être vénérée—accessible aux yogins, rayonnante comme le feu du sacrifice, et de la nature du Paramātman : c’était bien son propre fils. Née d’un roi, elle devint une lampe de flamme pour éclairer le monde.

FAQs

It identifies the Supreme Reality as the Paramātman—known to yogins and radiant like Agni—and portrays divine manifestation as ‘world-illumination,’ emphasizing liberation-oriented insight (mokṣa) through inner realization.

By describing the Supreme as ‘most worthy of choice’ (vareṇya), it frames the Divine as the highest object of reverence; devotion becomes an act of choosing and adoring the supreme light that dispels ignorance.

The verse uses Agni imagery tied to yajña vocabulary (hutabhuk), reflecting ritual language and symbolism (kalpa/śrauta context), while redirecting it toward contemplative meaning—Agni as inner spiritual light.
