Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 26
Sanatkumāra’s Bhāgavata Tantra: Tattvas, Māyā-Bonds, Embodiment, and the Necessity of Dīkṣā
मनस्यति न चोदेति निवृत्तिं च प्रयच्छति । वर्वर्ति दृक्क्रियारूपं तत्तेजः शांभवं परम् ॥ २६ ॥
manasyati na codeti nivṛttiṃ ca prayacchati | varvarti dṛkkriyārūpaṃ tattejaḥ śāṃbhavaṃ param || 26 ||
それは心の内で覚知するが、しかも駆り立てない。さらに外へ向かう働きからの退転（ニヴリッティ）を授ける。見ることと行うことのまさにその形として住する—この至上の光輝こそシャンバヴァ（シヴァの境地）である。

FAQs
It points to a highest inner luminosity (tejas) that knows without agitation, does not push the senses outward, and naturally produces nivṛtti—turning the mind back toward the Self—identified here as the supreme Śāmbhava principle.
By describing a consciousness that does not “impel” outward craving and instead grants inward withdrawal, it supports bhakti as steady, non-restless absorption—devotion that becomes quiet clarity, where perception and action are offered without egoic drive.
The verse uses technical inner-discipline language (pravṛtti/nivṛtti, dṛk and kriyā) relevant to Vedanga-adjacent contemplative training: regulating cognition and action so that perception becomes refined and activity becomes non-compulsive.
