शुकस्य मिथिलागमनम् (Śukasya Mithilāgamanam) — Śuka’s Journey to Mithilā and the Courtly Test
तमप्यनुपमात्मान विश्व शम्भु: प्रजापति: । अणिमा लघिमा प्राप्तिरीशानो ज्योतिरव्यय:
tam apy anupamātmānaṃ viśva-śambhuḥ prajāpatiḥ | aṇimā laghimā prāptir īśāno jyotir avyayaḥ ||
Yājñavalkya dijo: «Aun ese Ser incomparable—Prajāpati, Śambhu, el Señor auspicioso del universo—soberano regulador, Luz imperecedera y dueño de poderes como aṇimā (minuciosidad), laghimā (ligereza) y prāpti (alcance sin obstáculo), atrae de nuevo el principio cósmico y lo reabsorbe en Sí mismo.»

Educational Q&A
All powers and cosmic principles ultimately depend on the Supreme Lord, described as imperishable Light and sovereign controller; therefore one should seek inner realization and humility rather than attachment to extraordinary powers (siddhis).
Yājñavalkya is describing the Supreme—Prajāpati/Īśāna—who governs even exalted capacities like aṇimā, laghimā, and prāpti, and in whom the manifested cosmic principle is finally reabsorbed.
