Īśvara-gītā: Antaryāmin, Kāla, and the Divine Ordinance Governing Creation, Preservation, and Pralaya
ताभ्यां संजायते विश्वं संयुक्ताभ्यां परस्परम् / महदादिक्रमेणैव मम तेजो विजृम्भते
tābhyāṃ saṃjāyate viśvaṃ saṃyuktābhyāṃ parasparam / mahadādikrameṇaiva mama tejo vijṛmbhate
Từ hai nguyên lý ấy—kết hợp tương dung với nhau—toàn thể vũ trụ được sinh khởi; và theo trật tự bắt đầu từ Mahat cùng các tattva khác, quang huy thần thánh (tejas) của Ta liền mở bày và lan tỏa.
Lord Kurma (Vishnu) teaching in the Ishvara Gita context
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It presents the Supreme as the source whose tejas (divine power) manifests the cosmos through an ordered tattva-process; creation is an expansion of divine potency, not a separate independent reality.
While not prescribing a technique directly, it supports tattva-viveka (discriminative contemplation of Mahat and subsequent principles) used in Yoga to trace effects back to the Lord as the inner ground of manifestation.
By framing cosmic emergence as the unfolding of the one Lord’s tejas in a tattva-sequence, it aligns with the Kurma Purana’s non-sectarian stance where Shaiva and Vaishnava theologies converge on a single supreme source.
