Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
ध्येयाधेयं जगत्सर्वं यच्च किंचित् प्रवर्तते ॥ सप्तानामपि लोकानां त्वं नाथस्त्वमसंग्रहः ॥
dheyādheyaṃ jagatsarvaṃ yac ca kiṃcit pravartate || saptānām api lokānāṃ tvaṃ nāthas tvam asaṃgrahaḥ ||
พระองค์ทรงเป็นทั้งสิ่งที่ควรภาวนาและเป็นฐานรองรับแห่งสิ่งที่ถูกภาวนา—คือจักรวาลทั้งปวงและสิ่งใด ๆ ที่ดำเนินกิจการไม่ว่าด้วยประการใด ในโลกทั้งเจ็ด พระองค์ทรงเป็นนาถะ; ทรงไม่ยึดติดและไม่ถือครอง

Cosmic Boar Symbolism: {"has_symbolism":true,"symbolic_interpretation":"The Lord is both dhyeya (meditative goal) and ādheya/ādhāra (that in which meditation-content and world-activity are ‘placed’). His lordship over seven worlds with non-attachment expresses the paradox of immanent governance without bondage—key to Yajña-Varāha as cosmic support.","yajna_varaha_imagery":"Seven worlds parallel layered ritual cosmos; the deity as ‘support’ mirrors yajña’s support-structure (ādhāra) while remaining asanga like the sacrificer’s intended inner renunciation.","vedantic_connection":"Asaṅga Brahman: the Absolute is the substrate of all vṛttis and pravṛtti yet untouched; aligns with Upaniṣadic teaching of the Self as unattached witness while being the ground of experience."}
Philosophical Teaching: {"has_teaching":true,"teaching_type":"meditation doctrine (dhyāna) and non-attachment","core_concept":"The divine is both the content of contemplation and the ground of all contents; true sovereignty is asaṅga—unpossessive presence.","practical_application":"In meditation, trace objects back to their ground; in action, emulate asaṅga by performing duties without possessiveness or egoic clinging."}
