Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
मया संश्लेषिता भूमिरद्धिव्योम च वायुना । वायुश्न तेजसा सार्ध वैकुण्ठत्वं ततो मम
mayā saṁśleṣitā bhūmir adbhir vyoma ca vāyunā | vāyuś ca tejasā sārdhaṁ vaikuṇṭhatvaṁ tato mama ||
Pinag-ugnay Ko ang lupa at tubig, ang langit at hangin, at ang hangin kasama ng apoy. Kaya Ako tinatawag na Vaikuṇṭha—yaong ang kapangyarihang pag-isahin ang mga sangkap ay hindi kailanman nahahadlangan—tanda ng ganap na paghahari sa kaayusan ng sansinukob at ng pag-aayos ng mga bahagi ng daigdig.
तामिन्द्र उवाच गच्छ नहुषस्त्वया वाच्योथ<पूर्वेण मामृषियुक्तेन यानेन त्वमधिरूढ
Educational Q&A
The verse presents divine mastery as the ability to harmonize and integrate the fundamental elements of existence. ‘Vaikuṇṭha’ is explained as one whose power is not hindered (a-kunṭha) in uniting the pañcabhūtas, symbolizing maintenance of cosmic order and the ethical ideal of sustaining harmony rather than disorder.
A speaker identifies himself through an epithet—‘Vaikuṇṭha’—and justifies the name by describing the cosmic act of joining the elements (earth with water, space with wind, wind with fire). The statement functions as a self-revelation grounded in cosmological capability and authority.
