Cosmic Boar Symbolism: {"has_symbolism":true,"symbolic_interpretation":"Trikāla-darśitva and jñāna-cakṣus align with the Purāṇic ideal of the seer who perceives time as a single field—echoing Viṣṇu’s cosmic oversight; siddhi here signals mastery born of purity (śuddhātman) rather than mere power.","yajna_varaha_imagery":"None","vedantic_connection":"Jñāna-cakṣus suggests viveka and sākṣitva (witness-consciousness); trikāla as past-present-future seen in one awareness—an Advaitic/Yogic framing within Purāṇic narrative."}
Philosophical Teaching: {"has_teaching":true,"teaching_type":"yoga/jñāna","core_concept":"Purity of self (śuddhātman) and disciplined dwelling (āśrama-sthiti) culminate in higher perception and siddhi; true seeing is through knowledge, not senses.","practical_application":"Adopt daily śauca, satya, indriya-nigraha, and meditation; cultivate discernment so decisions are guided by long-view (trikāla) awareness."}
