FAQs
By calling the Lord “yoga-siddhi-da” (bestower of yogic attainments), the verse implies a supreme conscious principle who governs and grants the fruits of yoga, indicating the Atman/Ishvara as the ultimate source behind spiritual realization.
The verse does not list techniques directly; it frames the yogic path as one whose results (siddhis and higher attainment) depend upon the Lord’s sanction—typical of the Kurma Purana’s yoga-theism where discipline is joined with devotion and divine grace.
Though Shiva is not named here, the Kurma Purana’s synthesis is reflected in presenting Mādhava as the lord of yoga-fruition—an Ishvara role that the text often harmonizes with Shaiva (Pāśupata) yoga ideals, implying unity of divine authority across sectarian names.
