ભગવાન સામસ્વરૂપ છે—ઉદ્ગીતિ સ્વયં તેઓ જ છે. તેઓ કમલાલય છે; તેઓ સ્વાહા છે; તેઓ લક્ષ્મી છે; તેઓ જગન્નાથ છે; તેઓ વાસુદેવ છે; અને તેઓ હુતાશન—યજ્ઞાગ્નિ—પણ તેઓ જ છે।
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse equates Vishnu with the Udgītha—the primal sacred chant—teaching that the Lord is the essence behind Vedic sound and spiritual realization, not merely its ritual form.
By identifying Vishnu as “Svāhā” (the offering-call) and “Hutāśana” (the sacrificial fire), Parāśara frames yajña as a manifestation of the Supreme Person pervading both the act and the medium of offering.
Vishnu is presented as the Supreme Reality who is simultaneously transcendent (Jagannātha, Vāsudeva) and immanent (Vedic chant, Svāhā, Agni), supporting a devotional yet metaphysically robust Vaishnava view.
