Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
अव्यक्तादेव सम्भूत: समसंज्ञां गत: पुन: । तमोरजो भ्यां निर्मुक्त: सत्त्वमास्थाय केवलम्
avyaktād eva sambhūtaḥ samasaṃjñāṃ gataḥ punaḥ | tamo-rajobhyāṃ nirmuktaḥ sattvam āsthāya kevalam ||
Vāyu-deva dit : «Né en vérité de l’Inmanifesté (avyakta), il retrouve de nouveau l’état d’équilibre parfait. Délivré des deux liens—l’obscurité (tamas) et l’agitation (rajas)—il demeure établi uniquement dans la pureté (sattva).»
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation is framed as a movement from the unmanifest source into manifest life and then a return to equilibrium, achieved by transcending tamas (inertia/delusion) and rajas (restless desire) and stabilizing in sattva (clarity and harmony).
Vāyu-deva is explaining a philosophical process: how a principle/being arises from the Unmanifest, regains a balanced state, and becomes free by shedding tamas and rajas and abiding in sattva alone.
