Rudra’s Cosmic Dance and the Recognition of Rudra–Nārāyaṇa Unity (Īśvara-gītā Continuation)
स तेषां वाक्यमाकर्ण्य योगिनां योगसिद्धिदः / प्राहः गम्भीरया वाचा समालोक्य च माधवम्
sa teṣāṃ vākyamākarṇya yogināṃ yogasiddhidaḥ / prāhaḥ gambhīrayā vācā samālokya ca mādhavam
ان یوگیوں کی بات سن کر، یوگ سِدھی عطا کرنے والے پروردگار نے گہری اور سنجیدہ آواز میں فرمایا، اور سب نے مادھو کی طرف نگاہ کی۔

Primary Rasa: adbhuta

By calling the Lord “yoga-siddhi-da” (bestower of yogic attainments), the verse implies a supreme conscious principle who governs and grants the fruits of yoga, indicating the Atman/Ishvara as the ultimate source behind spiritual realization.
The verse does not list techniques directly; it frames the yogic path as one whose results (siddhis and higher attainment) depend upon the Lord’s sanction—typical of the Kurma Purana’s yoga-theism where discipline is joined with devotion and divine grace.
Though Shiva is not named here, the Kurma Purana’s synthesis is reflected in presenting Mādhava as the lord of yoga-fruition—an Ishvara role that the text often harmonizes with Shaiva (Pāśupata) yoga ideals, implying unity of divine authority across sectarian names.
