FAQs
This verse is genealogical and does not directly teach Ātman-doctrine; its focus is vaṃśa (lineage) continuity, a Purāṇic framework that later supports dharma and spiritual instruction elsewhere in the text.
No specific yoga practice is taught in this śloka; it functions as historical/royal genealogy. Yogic and Pāśupata themes are typically elaborated in other sections (notably the Upari-bhāga’s Īśvara-gītā context).
It does not explicitly address Śiva–Viṣṇu synthesis; it provides lineage narration. The Kurma Purāṇa’s non-sectarian synthesis is developed in theological passages rather than in this genealogical verse.
