Sumanā and Somaśarmā: Tapas at the Kapilā–Revā Confluence and the Theophany of Hari
जय सर्वदसर्वज्ञ जय त्वं सर्वभावन । जय जीवस्वरूपेश महाजीव नमोस्तुते
jaya sarvadasarvajña jaya tvaṃ sarvabhāvana | jaya jīvasvarūpeśa mahājīva namostute
Vitória a Ti, ó doador de tudo e onisciente; vitória a Ti, fonte e sustentáculo de toda a existência. Vitória a Ti, Senhor da própria natureza dos seres vivos—ó Suprema Realidade Vivente, minhas reverências a Ti.

FAQs
The verse is a stuti (hymn of praise) addressed to the Supreme Lord, described as all-knowing (sarvajña) and the sustainer of all existence (sarvabhāvana), also called the lord of the jīva’s essential nature (jīva-svarūpeśa).
By repeatedly proclaiming “jaya” and ending with “namo ’stu te,” it models devotional surrender—praise, remembrance of divine attributes, and reverential salutation as core practices of bhakti.
It indicates that the Supreme is the lord and ground of the individual soul’s true nature—implying that the jīva’s identity and fulfillment are ultimately rooted in, and governed by, the Divine.
