FAQs
It links yogic perfection (yogavant) and complete spiritual authority (saṁpūrṇaiśvarya) with eligibility for cosmic stewardship, symbolized by appointment to the Brahmā-post.
The verse identifies an appointing authority as 'yogavit' (one skilled in yoga), but the specific individual is not named in this isolated excerpt; it must be confirmed from surrounding verses.
Authority is portrayed as merit-based and duty-centered: the highest station is granted to one recognized for inner discipline and competence, implying leadership should rest on realized wisdom rather than mere status.
