Reconciliation of Action and Knowledge: Offering All Acts to Nārāyaṇa and the Hymn to the Yajña-Puruṣa
द्यावापृथिव्योरिदमन्तरं हि व्याप्तं शरीरेण दिशश्च सर्वाः । तमीद्यामीशं जगतां प्रसूतिं जनार्दनं तं प्रणतोऽस्मि नित्यम् ॥ ५.४८ ॥
dyāvāpṛthivyor idam antaraṃ hi vyāptaṃ śarīreṇa diśaś ca sarvāḥ | tam īḍyām īśaṃ jagatāṃ prasūtiṃ janārdanaṃ taṃ praṇato ’smi nityam || 5.48 ||
ช่องว่างระหว่างสวรรค์กับแผ่นดินนี้ถูกแผ่ซ่านด้วยพระวรกายของพระองค์ และทิศทั้งปวงก็เช่นกัน ข้าพเจ้าขอนอบน้อมเป็นนิตย์แด่พระผู้เป็นเจ้าอันควรสรรเสริญ ผู้เป็นบ่อเกิดแห่งโลกทั้งหลาย คือพระชนารทนะ
Varāha (default, primary instructor framework)
It exemplifies a common Purāṇic hymn-style (stuti) that uses cosmological totality—heaven, earth, and the directions—to express divine pervasion, reflecting pan-Indian Sanskrit literary conventions of late-classical religious literature.
No specific terrestrial pilgrimage site is named here; the verse employs universal cosmographic markers (heaven, earth, and all directions) rather than a localized sacred geography.
The verse models continual humility and reverential acknowledgment of a cosmic order (pervasion and origin of worlds), presented as a philosophical posture rather than a prescriptive social rule.
