Yoga-kṛtya (योककृत्य) — Vyāsa on Sense-Restraint, Obstacles, and Brahman-Realization
एते सप्तविधात्मानो नानावीर्या: पृथक् पृथक् । नाशवनुवन् प्रजा: स्रष्टमसमागम्य कृत्स्नश:
ete saptavidhātmāno nānā-vīryāḥ pṛthak pṛthak | nāśuvan prajāḥ sraṣṭum asamāgamya kṛtsnaśaḥ ||
व्यास ने कहा—महत्तत्त्व, अहंकार, मन और पाँच सूक्ष्म महाभूत—ये सात तत्त्व भिन्न-भिन्न शक्तिवाले होकर पृथक्-पृथक् रहे। जब तक वे सब-के-सब पूर्णतः एकत्र न हुए, तब तक वे प्रजा की सृष्टि करने में समर्थ न थे।
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
No single principle, however powerful, can generate creation in isolation; only the complete conjunction of the seven distinct factors yields the capacity to produce living beings. The verse emphasizes interdependence and coordinated causality.
Vyāsa explains a cosmological point: seven separate, differently potent principles remain incapable of producing progeny until they unite fully. This frames creation as a process requiring the coming-together of multiple tattvas.
