By condemning īśvara-dveṣa (hatred toward the Lord), the verse implies that spiritual vision aligns the self with reverence for Ishvara; hostility toward the divine order leads to downfall rather than self-knowledge.
No specific technique is taught in this line, but it supports the Kurma Purana’s yogic ethic: devotion and inner alignment with Ishvara are prerequisites for any higher practice (including Pashupata-oriented discipline), while antagonism disrupts dharma and tapas.
Using the inclusive term “Ishvara,” the verse targets hatred of the Supreme Lord rather than sectarian identity, consistent with the Kurma Purana’s non-dual, Shaiva–Vaishnava synthesis where reverence to Ishvara is central.
