<p>49.204.191.30: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Orphan|date=December 2013}}<br /> <br /> The '''Ishvara Gita''' (Devanagari: ईश्वरगीता, IAST: {{IAST|Īśvara gītā}}) is a [[saṃskṛta (Sanskrit)]] text composed in India. It contains the teachings of the god [[Śiva]], also called [[Īśvara]], and is influenced by the [[sāṅkhya]] and [[yoga]] schools of Indian philosophy. It makes up the first 11 chapters of the second section (uttara vibhāga) of the [[kūrmapurāṇa]].<br /> <br /> The Īśvara gītā contains many new themes not found in the bhagavadgītā, such as the worship of the [[liṅga]] and the idea that [[Śiva]], is the ultimate god. The Īśvara gītā also shows the influence of the 8-fold (ashtanga) yoga of [[patañjali]], and of the [[pāśupata]] sect of [[Shaivism]]. Several commentaries on this text are available in manuscript form, including one by [[vijñānabhikṣu]], a 16th-century Hindu [[polymath]].<br /> <br /> The Īśvara gītā has been translated into English, French and Italian in stand-alone form, and into English as part of a complete translation of the [[kūrmapurāṇa]].<br /> <br /> == Primary sources: Sanskrit editions and translations ==<br /> <br /> * Dumont, P.-E.
