Rudra’s Cosmic Dance and the Recognition of Rudra–Nārāyaṇa Unity (Īśvara-gītā Continuation)
त्वत्तो वेदाः सकलाः संप्रसूता- स्त्वय्येवान्ते संस्थितिं ते लभन्ते / पश्यामस्त्वां जगतो हेतुभूतं नृत्यन्तं स्वे हृदये सन्निविष्टम्
tvatto vedāḥ sakalāḥ saṃprasūtā- stvayyevānte saṃsthitiṃ te labhante / paśyāmastvāṃ jagato hetubhūtaṃ nṛtyantaṃ sve hṛdaye sanniviṣṭam
Daripada-Mu seluruh Veda terpancar sepenuhnya; dan pada akhirnya, semuanya kembali bersemayam hanya pada-Mu. Kami menyaksikan Engkau sebagai sebab alam semesta—menari dalam lila-Mu, namun tetap bersemayam di dalam hati kami sendiri.

By describing one Supreme cause who is both cosmic (creator/dissolver of Vedic order) and dynamic (the ‘dancing’ Lord), the verse supports the Kūrma Purāṇa’s synthesis where Śaiva imagery and Vaiṣṇava identity converge in a single Īśvara.
