विद्येश्वरप्रिया विद्या विद्युज्जिह्वा जितश्रमा / विद्यामयी सहस्त्राक्षी सहस्त्रवदनात्मजा
vidyeśvarapriyā vidyā vidyujjihvā jitaśramā / vidyāmayī sahastrākṣī sahastravadanātmajā
Ngài là Vidyā—chính là Tri Thức, được Đấng Chúa của Tri Thức yêu quý; lưỡi Ngài như tia chớp, và Ngài vượt thắng mọi mỏi mệt. Ngài là trí tuệ thuần tịnh, ngàn mắt, và là ái nữ của Đấng Ngàn Mặt.
Lord Kurma (Vishnu) instructing in the Ishvara Gita context
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: vira
By describing the goddess as “Knowledge itself” (vidyāmayī), the verse points to liberating wisdom (jñāna) as the inner light through which the Self is realized—knowledge is not merely information but a transforming power that reveals reality.
The verse supports jñāna-yoga and mantra-oriented contemplation: meditating on the deity as embodied knowledge, all-seeing (sahasrākṣī), and tireless (jitaśramā) cultivates steady attention, purity of speech, and insight—key supports for Pāśupata-aligned discipline and inner recitation.
Within the Ishvara Gita’s synthetic theology, divine knowledge is praised as a single supreme power honored across traditions—spoken by Kurma (Vishnu) yet framed in language compatible with Shaiva devotion (Vidyeshvara), emphasizing unity of the divine rather than sectarian separation.
