**Technical significance in Vedānta
In Vedāntic terminology, ‘Īśvara’ specifically refers to Brahman in its aspect of cosmic controller — Brahman associated with ‘Māyā’ as its creative power, actively governing creation. The Bhagavad Gītā (18.61): ‘"Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṃ hṛd-deśe'rjuna tiṣṭhati / bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni māyayā"‘ — "The Lord dwells in the heart of all beings, O Arjuna, causing all beings to revolve by His Māyā as if mounted on a machine." This verse is the definitive commentary on Īśvaraḥ.
