Varaha Purana 113.50 — Adhyaya 113, Shloka 50
Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
ध्येयाधेयं जगत्सर्वं यच्च किंचित् प्रवर्तते ॥ सप्तानामपि लोकानां त्वं नाथस्त्वमसंग्रहः ॥
dheyādheyaṃ jagatsarvaṃ yac ca kiṃcit pravartate || saptānām api lokānāṃ tvaṃ nāthas tvam asaṃgrahaḥ ||
Ngài vừa là đối tượng để quán niệm, vừa là nền tảng của điều được quán niệm—toàn thể vũ trụ này và bất cứ điều gì, theo bất kỳ cách nào, khởi lên hoạt động. Đối với bảy cõi, Ngài là bậc Chúa tể; Ngài vô nhiễm, không chấp thủ, không sở hữu.

His lordship over seven worlds with non-attachment expresses the paradox of immanent governance without bondage—key to Yajña-Varāha as cosmic support.","yajna_varaha_imagery":"Seven worlds parallel layered ritual cosmos; the deity as ‘support’ mirrors yajña’s support-structure (ādhāra) while remaining asanga like the sacrificer’s intended inner renunciation.","vedantic_connection":"Asaṅga Brahman: the Absolute is the substrate of all vṛttis and pravṛtti yet untouched; aligns with Upaniṣadic teaching of the Self as unattached witness while being the ground of experience."}
