Adhyaya 42 — Dattatreya on the Yogic Import of Oṃ (Praṇava): Matras, Worlds, and Liberation
इति श्रीमार्कण्डेयपुराणे योगिचर्यानामैकचत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः ।
द्विचत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः ।
दत्तात्रेय उवाच ।
एवं यो वर्तते योगी सम्यग्योगव्यवस्थितः ।
न स व्यावर्तितुं शक्यो जन्मान्तरशतैरपि ॥
iti śrīmārkaṇḍeyapurāṇe yogicaryānām aikacatvāriṁśo 'dhyāyaḥ / dvicatvāriṁśo 'dhyāyaḥ / dattātreya uvāca / evaṁ yo vartate yogī samyagyogavyavasthitaḥ / na sa vyāvartituṁ śakyo janmāntaraśatair api
Así concluye el capítulo cuadragésimo primero, sobre la conducta del yoguin, en el Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa. Capítulo cuadragésimo segundo. Dattātreya dijo: El yoguin que vive de este modo, firmemente establecido en el yoga recto, no puede ser hecho retroceder, aun a través de cientos de nacimientos.

The claim of ‘not being turned back’ points to niṣṭhā (firm abidance): once insight and practice cohere, even future embodiments tend toward liberation rather than entanglement.
