Varaha Purana 73.33: Adhyaya 73, Shloka 33

Rudra’s Hymn: Vision of Nārāyaṇa, the Emergence of the Ādityas, and the Mutual Boon of Hari and Hara

किमुच्यते वा भवति स्थितेऽस्मिन् खात्मीन्दुवह्न्यर्कमहीमरुद्भिः । तत्त्वैः सतोयैः समरूपधारि-ण्यात्मस्वरूपे विततस्वभावे ॥ ७३.३३ ॥

Recitation with translationVaraha Purana 73.33

kim ucyate vā bhavati sthite 'smin khātmīndu-vahny-arka-mahī-marudbhiḥ | tattvaiḥ sa-toyaiḥ sama-rūpa-dhāriṇy ātma-svarūpe vitata-svabhāve || 73.33 ||

جب یہ حقیقت قائم ہو—فضا، باطنِ ذات، چاند، آگ، سورج، زمین، ہوا اور آب سمیت عناصر و تत्त्वات کے ذریعے یکساں صورت اختیار کیے ہوئے—اپنے ہی جوہرِ ذات میں، وسیع فطرت کے ساتھ—تو پھر کیا کہا جا سکتا ہے؟

FAQs

It reflects a Purāṇic synthesis of cosmological “elements/principles” (tattvas) with a metaphysical claim about an underlying, pervasive nature—typical of late-classical Sanskrit discourse that integrates cosmology and ontology.

No specific pilgrimage site or geographic toponym is named in this verse; the focus is elemental/cosmological rather than regional sacred geography.

Rather than a direct moral injunction, the verse conveys a philosophical instruction: to understand reality as grounded in an underlying essential nature that manifests uniformly through multiple elements/principles.
