यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः / हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः स हि मे प्रियः
yasmānnodvijate loko lokānnodvijate ca yaḥ / harṣāmarṣabhayodvegairmukto yaḥ sa hi me priyaḥ
જેનાથી જગત ઉદ્વિગ્ન થતું નથી અને જે જગતથી ઉદ્વિગ્ન થતો નથી; જે હર્ષ, અમર્ષ, ભય અને ઉદ્વેગથી મુક્ત છે—એ જ નિશ્ચયે મને પ્રિય છે.

FAQs
By praising one who neither disturbs others nor is disturbed, the verse points to steadiness rooted in the Self—where reactions born of dualities (pleasure, anger, fear, agitation) are transcended through inner poise.
The verse highlights yogic equanimity (samatva) and restraint of reactive impulses—key outcomes of disciplined practice such as self-control, contemplation, and dispassion (vairagya), aligned with the Kurma Purana’s Ishvara Gita guidance.
Rather than sectarian identity, the emphasis is on the universal yogic-bhakti ideal—freedom from agitation and harm—consistent with the Kurma Purana’s Shaiva-Vaishnava synthesis where devotion to Ishvara is validated through inner transformation.
