The Seba library treats Iva in 6 passages, across 2 authors (including Beekes, Robert, Singh, Jaideva).
Lva [adv., conj.] 'where, to where' (Horn., also lA); as a final conjunction 'that, in order that, etc.' (11.). Origin unclear. For the ending, we may compare Skt. instrumentals like yena, tena 'by which, by that'
Beekes identifies 'iva' (Ἵνα) as an adverbial-conjunctive form with an obscure etymology, connecting its stem to the IE demonstrative *h₁i- and its ending to Sanskrit directional instrumentals.

Lvala· Mvaflle; 'power, capacity' (H., uncertain conj. Peripl. M. Rubr. 46); denominative verbs: [vow 'to provide with IVEe;, stengthen' (Hdn.)
Beekes documents a cluster of Greek forms cognate with or adjacent to 'iva,' including denominatives built on the sinew/strength root, illuminating the semantic field of directed force and capacity that neighbors the conjunction.

Elementary formation like iw, iou, etc.; the noun arose from the interjection. Cf. ἰομώροι, ἰαλεμος, also Ἴωνες and ἰώ.
Beekes contextualizes elementary interjective and demonstrative formations in the 'i-' stem family to which 'iva' belongs, tracing a shared morphological heritage.

The mantra of this state is 'ahaṃ-idaṃ'. The meaning of this mantra is, 'I am this universe'. Here, he finds his Self in the universe, while in the previous state of mantreśvara, he found the universe in his Self.
Singh's commentary deploys comparative particle logic (analogous to Sanskrit 'iva') to articulate the distinction between finding Self in universe versus universe in Self—the philosophical context in which 'iva' as a particle of approximation operates.

We have concealed ourselves in order to find ourselves. This is his play, and therefore it is our play.
The purposive logic of Kashmir Shaivism ('in order to'), structurally expressed by the Sanskrit particle iva and its conjunctive equivalents, underlies Singh's articulation of Śiva's self-concealment as directed intentionality.
