योग–सांख्यसमन्वयः, रथोपमा, व्यक्त–अव्यक्तविवेकः
Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
संकराश्षाभ्यवर्तन्त न च शौचमवर्तत । ये च वेदविदो विप्रा विस्पष्टमनचश्न ये
saṅkarāś cābhyavartanta na ca śaucam avartata | ye ca vedavido viprā vispaṣṭam anacaśn ye ||
শক্ৰে ক’লে—চৌদিশে সংকৰ আৰু বিশৃঙ্খলা উঠিল, কিন্তু শৌচ আৰু শিষ্টাচাৰ-সম্বন্ধীয় শুচিতা প্ৰচলিত নহ’ল। বেদবিদ ব্রাহ্মণসকল—যিসকলৰ স্পষ্ট সংযমেৰে থাকিব লাগিছিল—তেওঁলোকেও প্ৰকাশ্য সদাচাৰৰ মানদণ্ড ৰক্ষা নকৰিলে।

Educational Q&A
Vedic learning without lived discipline is hollow: when śauca (purity and self-restraint) collapses, social and moral saṅkara (confusion and disorder) spreads, even among those expected to uphold dharma.
Indra (Śakra) is describing a period of ethical deterioration: disorder becomes widespread and the expected standards of purity and restraint fail to be maintained, including by Veda-knowing brahmins.
