Hymn of Victory: Varāha, the Slaying of Hiraṇyākṣa, and the Praise of Viṣṇu
सर्वं त्वमेवासि चराचराख्यं न भाति विश्वं त्वदृते च किंचित् । अस्तीति नास्तीति च भेदनिष्ठं त्वय्येव भातं सदसत्स्वरूपम्
sarvaṃ tvamevāsi carācarākhyaṃ na bhāti viśvaṃ tvadṛte ca kiṃcit | astīti nāstīti ca bhedaniṣṭhaṃ tvayyeva bhātaṃ sadasatsvarūpam
Wahai Tuhan, Engkaulah segala yang disebut bergerak dan tak bergerak. Tanpa Engkau, tiada sesuatu pun di jagat ini yang tampak bercahaya. Bahkan pembedaan ‘ada’ dan ‘tiada’ pun hanya tampak di dalam-Mu—Engkau menampakkan diri sebagai hakikat yang nyata dan yang tak nyata.
Unspecified in provided snippet (devotional address to the Supreme, likely Viṣṇu/Nārāyaṇa in context)
Concept: All moving and unmoving is the Lord; nothing shines apart from him; even the categories ‘exists’ and ‘does not exist’ appear only in him as sat-asat-svarūpa (the locus where reality/unreality distinctions manifest).
Application: Practice seeing the divine presence in all beings and situations; reduce divisive thinking (‘this is wholly good/wholly bad’) by remembering all perceptions arise in the same ultimate ground—respond with compassion and discernment.

FAQs
It teaches that the Supreme alone is the ground of all phenomena—moving and unmoving—and that even the categories of existence and non-existence are appearances dependent on that Supreme reality.
Although phrased in universal metaphysical terms, the verse functions as a hymn of total dependence: the cosmos has no independent radiance apart from the Supreme (commonly identified as Viṣṇu/Nārāyaṇa in Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa contexts).
It implies humility and surrender: since all power, meaning, and manifestation arise from the Supreme, one should orient action and worship toward that source rather than treating worldly distinctions as ultimate.
