Cyavana Narrative within the Vena Episode
देवदैत्यवियोगैश्च वर्जितं तुष्टिभिः सदा । दैवैश्च योगिभिर्ध्येयं तमोंकारं नमाम्यहम्
devadaityaviyogaiśca varjitaṃ tuṣṭibhiḥ sadā | daivaiśca yogibhirdhyeyaṃ tamoṃkāraṃ namāmyaham
Aku menunduk sujud kepada Oṃkāra itu, yang sentiasa disertai ketenteraman dan kepuasan suci, tidak tersentuh oleh perpisahan serta pertikaian para dewa dan daitya, dan layak direnungi oleh para dewa dan para yogin.
Unspecified (verse is a direct devotional salutation within the chapter context)
Concept: Oṃkāra is untouched by dualistic conflict and is the object of contemplation for both divine beings and yogins; serenity (tuṣṭi) is its constant companion.
Application: Use Oṃ (or Oṃ Namo Nārāyaṇāya) japa to step out of reactive 'conflict-mind'; cultivate tuṣṭi (contentment) as a spiritual discipline alongside devotion.
