Hospitality at Gauramukha’s Hermitage and the Power of the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel
त्वं भूस्त्वं च भुवो देव त्वं जनस्त्वं महः स्मृतः । त्वं तपस्त्वं च सत्यं च त्वयि देव चराचरम् ॥ ११.१५ ॥
tvaṁ bhūs tvaṁ ca bhuvo deva tvaṁ janas tvaṁ mahaḥ smṛtaḥ | tvaṁ tapas tvaṁ ca satyaṁ ca tvayi deva carācaram || 11.15 ||
भगवान, आप ही भू हैं और भुव भी। आप ही जन हैं और मह के रूप में याद किए जाते हैं। आप ही तप हैं और सच भी। आप में सब चलने वाले और न चलने वाले जीव हैं।

FAQs
It exemplifies a common Purāṇic cosmological idiom in which multiple lokas (cosmic realms) are identified with a single divine principle, reflecting the synthesis of cosmography and philosophical monism found across early medieval Sanskrit literature.
No specific terrestrial location (tīrtha, river, or region) is named in this verse; the focus is cosmological (the enumeration of lokas) rather than geographic.
Rather than a direct moral injunction, the verse conveys a philosophical principle: all beings (moving and unmoving) are situated within a unified cosmic ground, a framing often used to support ideals of universal regard and restraint in later ethical discussions.
