Der Sohn Vajranābhas war Sagaṇa, und dessen Sohn war Vidhṛti. Vidhṛtis Sohn war Hiraṇyanābha; als Schüler Jaiminis wurde er zu einem großen ācārya des mystischen Yoga. Von Hiraṇyanābha lernte der erhabene Weise Yājñavalkya das hochstehende ‘ādhyātma-yoga’, das die Knoten materieller Anhaftung im Herzen lösen kann.
FAQs
In this verse, the Bhagavatam praises a form of yoga and spiritual realization that is 'hṛdaya-granthi-bhedakam'—capable of cutting the inner knot of bondage that ties the soul to material identification.
