Jīva–Ātman Inquiry; Kṣetrajña Doctrine; Karma-based Varṇa; Four Āśramas and Sannyāsa Discipline
अजितं जेतुकामेन व्यासंगेषु ह्यसंगिना । इन्द्रियैर्गृह्यते यद्यत्तत्तद्व्यक्तमिति स्थितिः ॥ ७७ ॥
ajitaṃ jetukāmena vyāsaṃgeṣu hyasaṃginā | indriyairgṛhyate yadyattattadvyaktamiti sthitiḥ || 77 ||
Que celui qui aspire à vaincre l’Invincible (le Soi) demeure détaché au milieu de tous les contacts. Tout ce que saisissent les sens, sachez que cela seul est le « manifeste ». Telle est la doctrine établie.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in the Moksha-Dharma dialogue)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta (peace)
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta (wonder)
It defines “the manifest” as whatever is known through the senses, urging the seeker of liberation to remain unattached and to seek the Self beyond sensory grasp.
By stressing asaṅga (non-attachment) and mastery over sense-grasping, it supports purified devotion—turning attention from sense-objects to the Unconquerable Lord/Self as the true refuge.
It highlights a practical Vedantic discernment used in sādhanā: classify what is indriya-grāhya (sense-perceived) as vyakta, aiding viveka and indriya-nigraha rather than a ritual or technical Vedanga procedure.
