Devī-tattva, Śakti–Śaktimān doctrine, Kāla–Māyā cosmology, and Māheśvara Yoga instruction
मेनोवाच पश्य बालामिमां राजन् राजीवसदृशाननाम् / हिताय सर्वभूतानां जाता च तपसावयोः
menovāca paśya bālāmimāṃ rājan rājīvasadṛśānanām / hitāya sarvabhūtānāṃ jātā ca tapasāvayoḥ
Menā berkata: “Wahai Raja, lihatlah anak gadis ini—wajahnya laksana teratai. Demi kebajikan semua makhluk, dia lahir daripada tapa kami berdua.”
Mena (Menā)
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
Indirectly: it emphasizes tapas (disciplined spiritual heat) and lokahita (welfare of beings), which in the Ishvara-Gita setting are signs of alignment with the higher Self and the Lord’s order, rather than a direct Atman-definition.
Tapas is foregrounded—ascetic discipline and sustained spiritual effort—treated in the Kurma Purana’s Yoga-dharma framework as a means of purification and producing auspicious outcomes for oneself and the world.
Not explicitly in this line; however, the Ishvara-Gita context commonly frames tapas and universal welfare as shared Shaiva–Vaishnava virtues under one supreme governance, supporting the Purana’s synthesis.
