Varṣa-devatā Worship in Jambūdvīpa: Hayagrīva/Hayaśīrṣa, Nṛsiṁha, Kāmadeva (Pradyumna), Matsya, Kūrma, and Varāha
विश्वोद्भवस्थाननिरोधकर्म तेह्यकर्तुरङ्गीकृतमप्यपावृत: । युक्तं न चित्रं त्वयि कार्यकारणेसर्वात्मनि व्यतिरिक्ते च वस्तुत: ॥ ५ ॥
viśvodbhava-sthāna-nirodha-karma te hy akartur aṅgīkṛtam apy apāvṛtaḥ yuktaṁ na citraṁ tvayi kārya-kāraṇe sarvātmani vyatirikte ca vastutaḥ
主啊,虽你全然超然于此物质世界的生、住、灭,并不直接受其所染,然而一切作为仍归于你。此并不奇怪,因为你是诸因之因。你为万有之内在主宰(众生之我),却又真实地超越万有;万事皆由你不可思议的能量而运转。
This verse states that although creation, maintenance, and destruction are attributed to the Lord, He is intrinsically akartā (the non-doer)—unchanged and unobscured—because He is the Supreme Self beyond material transformation.
They glorify Him as sarvātmā (the Self of all) and also vyatirikta (transcendent), expressing the Bhagavatam’s teaching that the Lord pervades all as the inner ruler yet remains distinct from the material world.
See responsibilities as offerings while remembering the soul’s deeper identity beyond changing roles—cultivating steadiness, humility, and devotion to the Supreme who governs all outcomes.
