Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties
ज्ञानमस्य हि धर्मज्ञा: प्राप्त ज्ञानवतामिह । इस प्रकार मैंने तुम लोगोंसे अध्यात्मविधिका यथावत् वर्णन किया। धर्मज्ञजन! ज्ञानी पुरुषोंको इस विषयका सम्यक् ज्ञान होता है
jñānam asya hi dharmajñāḥ prāpta-jñānavatām iha | iti prakāreṇa mayā yuṣmān prati adhyātma-vidhikā yathāvat varṇanam kṛtam | dharmajñajanāḥ jñāninaḥ puruṣāḥ asmin viṣaye samyak jñānam vindanti |
Vāyu said: “Those who truly know dharma, and those who have already attained insight in this world, possess clear knowledge of this matter. Thus I have described to you, in proper order, the method of spiritual discipline. O knowers of dharma—wise men gain a correct and complete understanding of this subject.”

Educational Q&A
True understanding of spiritual discipline (adhyātma-vidhi) belongs to those grounded in dharma and mature in knowledge; the teaching must be grasped correctly and in proper order (yathāvat), leading to samyak-jñāna (right, complete understanding).
Vāyudeva concludes or summarizes an instruction: he tells his listeners that he has properly explained the method of inner spiritual practice, and he affirms that wise, dharma-knowing people comprehend this subject accurately.
