Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction

त्वयार्चितां मां देवेश पुरो धास्यन्ति देवता: । शचीपते! देवेश्वर! इसीलिये मैं स्वयं तुम्हारे यहाँ आयी हूँ। तुम मेरा अभिनन्दन करो। तुमसे पूजित होनेपर मुझे अन्य देवता भी अपने सम्मुख स्थापित (एवं सम्मानित) करेंगे

tvayārcitāṁ māṁ deveśa puro dhāsyanti devatāḥ | śacīpate! deveśvara! tasmād ahaṁ svayam tava gṛham āgatā | māṁ tvam abhinanda | tvayā pūjitāyāṁ mām anye devatā api svāgre sthāpayiṣyanti (sammāpayiṣyanti) |

Dijo Śakra (Indra): «¡Oh Señor de los dioses! Cuando tú me honres, las demás deidades me colocarán en el puesto principal. ¡Oh esposo de Śacī, oh soberano divino! Por eso he venido aquí en persona. Recíbeme con el debido saludo. Una vez que yo sea venerada por ti, los otros dioses también me pondrán ante sí y me rendirán honor.»

Educational Q&A

Honor shown by a rightful authority establishes social and cosmic precedence: when the acknowledged leader offers due respect, others follow, reinforcing order (maryādā) and rightful hierarchy rather than mere ego.

Śakra (Indra) addresses the ‘Lord of the gods,’ requesting formal welcome and worship, stating that once honored by him, the other deities will also place Indra in the foremost position and respect him.
