这些神圣的力量（Śakti）全知、遍在而寂静，唯安住于自身的真我之中。她们是梵天、毗湿奴与伊沙（湿婆）的神力，赐予世间受用（bhukti）与解脱（mukti）之果。

FAQs
It presents the divine Śaktis as “established in their own Self,” implying that their power and peace rest in intrinsic Self-abidance (svātma-niṣṭhā), not in external supports—an inward, non-dual grounding behind cosmic functions.
The verse emphasizes śānti (inner tranquility) and being established in the Self, which aligns with meditative Self-abidance central to Purāṇic Yoga—cultivating steadiness of mind so that divine power manifests as both worldly welfare (bhukti) and spiritual release (mukti).
By speaking of one class of Śaktis as belonging to Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Īśa (Śiva) and granting the same ultimate fruits, it supports the Kurma Purana’s integrative theology: a unified divine reality expressed through Śaiva–Vaiṣṇava forms and functions.
