Madhu–Kaiṭabha, Nārāyaṇa’s Yoga-Nidrā, Rudra’s Manifestation, and the Aṣṭamūrti–Trimūrti Teaching
सर्वांस्तानश्रुजान् दृष्ट्वा ब्रह्मात्मानमनिन्दन / जहौ प्राणांश्च भगवान् क्रोधाविष्टः प्रजापतिः
sarvāṃstānaśrujān dṛṣṭvā brahmātmānamanindana / jahau prāṇāṃśca bhagavān krodhāviṣṭaḥ prajāpatiḥ
ان سب اشک سے پیدا ہونے والوں کو روتا دیکھ کر اور عالم کی بے عیب ذات، برہما کو دیکھ کر، غضب میں ڈوبا ہوا بھگوان پرجاپتی (دکش) اپنی سانسیں چھوڑ گیا۔
Sūta (Purāṇic narrator) describing the Dakṣa episode
Primary Rasa: raudra
Secondary Rasa: karuna
By calling Brahmā “brahmātmānam anindanam,” the verse hints that the cosmic order is grounded in a blameless Self-principle; yet Dakṣa’s anger shows how ego and krodha veil that higher vision.
No technique is directly taught in this line, but it implicitly contrasts uncontrolled krodha with the Kurma Purana’s yogic ideal—restraint (dama), inner composure, and devotion aligned with Pāśupata-oriented discipline.
Indirectly: the Dakṣa episode is a classic Purāṇic setting where sectarian pride collapses; the Kurma Purana’s broader teaching harmonizes divine powers, urging devotion and humility rather than rivalry.
