The Sin of Breaking Households: Citrā’s Past Karma and the Remedy of Hari’s Name and Meditation
अरूपो रूपसंबद्धः पंचवर्गवशंगतः । सर्वलोकस्य यः प्राणः पूजितः स चराचरैः
arūpo rūpasaṃbaddhaḥ paṃcavargavaśaṃgataḥ | sarvalokasya yaḥ prāṇaḥ pūjitaḥ sa carācaraiḥ
Walau tanpa rupa, Ia tetap terkait dengan rupa; seakan berada di bawah pengaruh lima golongan. Dia yang menjadi napas kehidupan semua alam dipuja oleh semua makhluk, yang bergerak maupun yang tak bergerak.

FAQs
The verse points to the supreme vital principle/deity who transcends form (arūpa) yet is relatable through manifested forms (rūpa-saṃbaddha). In Purāṇic usage, this commonly aligns with the Supreme Lord understood as beyond attributes yet accessible through divine manifestations.
Pañcavarga is a context-sensitive term in Sanskrit literature. Here it broadly conveys the fivefold categories that condition embodied existence (often interpreted as sensory/elemental or psycho-physical groupings). The verse emphasizes that even the manifested relation to form appears within such conditioning.
It teaches reverence for the supreme life-principle sustaining all worlds and encourages worship that recognizes both transcendence (formless reality) and immanence (presence approachable through forms), extending respect to all beings—moving and unmoving.
