महाप्रभाव: पुरुष: सर्वस्य हृदि निश्चित: । अणिमा लघिमा प्राप्तिरीशानो ज्योतिरव्यय:
mahāprabhāvaḥ puruṣaḥ sarvasya hṛdi niścitaḥ | aṇimā laghimā prāptir īśāno jyotir avyayaḥ ||
ພະວາຍຸເທວະກ່າວວ່າ: «ພຣະບຸລຸດສູງສຸດ ຜູ້ມີອານຸພາບຫາຂອບເຂດບໍ່ໄດ້ ສະຖິດຢ່າງໝັ້ນຄົງໃນດວງໃຈຂອງສັດທຸກຕົວ. ອຳນາດວິເສດເຊັ່ນ ອະນິມາ (ເປັນອະນຸລະອຽດ), ລະຄິມາ (ເບົາບາງ), ແລະ ປຣາປຕິ (ເຂົ້າເຖິງທຸກສິ່ງ) ເກີດຈາກພຣະອົງ. ພຣະອົງເປັນຈອມເຈົ້າຜູ້ປົກຄອງທັງປວງ, ສ່ອງສະຫວ່າງດ້ວຍຕົນເອງ, ແລະບໍ່ເສື່ອມສະລາຍ».
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the Supreme Person dwells within the heart of all beings as the imperishable, self-luminous Lord; extraordinary yogic powers are secondary expressions dependent on Him, while the ethical focus is inner reverence, restraint, and God-centered understanding rather than fascination with siddhis.
Vāyudeva is speaking and instructing the listener about the nature of the indwelling Supreme Self—affirming divine immanence (present in every heart) and divine sovereignty, while contextualizing yogic attainments like aṇimā, laghimā, and prāpti as deriving from that Supreme reality.
