جب بھڑکتے ہوئے یَجْن کی آگوں کے درمیان یہ نشانیاں ظاہر ہوں تو انہیں واقع شدہ جان کر انَڌیائے سمجھو؛ اور موسم کے خلاف حالت میں، نیز بےوقت بادل دکھائی دینے پر بھی انَڌیائے مانو۔

FAQs
This verse is primarily a dharma injunction about anadhyāya; it does not directly teach ātman-metaphysics, but it supports inner discipline by regulating when sacred study should be paused to preserve ritual and mental purity.
No specific yoga technique is taught here; the verse contributes to yogic discipline indirectly by prescribing restraint and right timing for mantra/śāstra recitation—an aid to steadiness (niyama) and reverence in spiritual practice.
It does not explicitly discuss Shiva–Vishnu unity; it belongs to the Kurma Purana’s broader dharma framework that undergirds later Shaiva-Vaishnava synthesis teachings by emphasizing shared standards of sacred conduct.
