Iśvara on Māyā, the Unmanifest, and the Viśvarūpa of the One Supreme
तत्र सर्वमिदं प्रोतमोतं चैवाखिलं जगत् / तदेव च जगत् कृत्स्नं तद् विज्ञाय विमुच्यते
tatra sarvamidaṃ protamotaṃ caivākhilaṃ jagat / tadeva ca jagat kṛtsnaṃ tad vijñāya vimucyate
នៅក្នុង “អង្គនោះ” សកលលោកទាំងមូល ត្រូវបានត្បាញ និងត្បាញចូលគ្នា—ពិភពលោកទាំងអស់។ “អង្គនោះ” តែប៉ុណ្ណោះជាសកលលោកទាំងមូល; ដោយដឹង “អង្គនោះ” យ៉ាងពិតប្រាកដ មនុស្សបានរួចផុត។
Lord Kurma (Vishnu) teaching in the Ishvara Gita context
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It presents the Supreme as the all-pervading reality in which the entire universe is ‘woven’; realizing that single ground of existence is the liberating knowledge.
The verse emphasizes jñāna (realization) as the liberating core: meditative discernment that all names and forms are pervaded by—and dependent on—Īśvara; this aligns with the Ishvara Gita’s yoga of contemplation leading to mokṣa.
By teaching one all-pervading Īśvara as the substrate of the cosmos, it supports the Kurma Purana’s synthetic, non-sectarian stance where Shiva-Vishnu are understood as expressions of the same supreme reality.
