Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
एतावदेव वक्तव्यं नातो भूयो5स्ति किंचन । षण्मासान् नित्ययुक्तस्य योग: पार्थ प्रवर्तते
etāvad eva vaktavyaṃ nāto bhūyo 'sti kiṃcana | ṣaṇmāsān nityayuktasya yogaḥ pārtha pravartate ||
Vāyu berkata: “Hanya sejauh inilah yang patut dinyatakan; di luar ini tiada lagi yang perlu ditambahkan. Wahai Pārtha, bagi dia yang senantiasa teguh dalam disiplin, yoga mulai bekerja dan menjadi efektif dalam enam bulan.”
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Steady, uninterrupted discipline is emphasized: if one remains continuously engaged (nityayukta) in yogic practice, yoga becomes effective and reaches accomplishment within a defined period—here expressed as six months—highlighting perseverance over mere theory.
Vāyudeva addresses Pārtha (Arjuna) and concludes his instruction with a definitive summary, stating that nothing more needs to be said and underscoring the practical assurance that sustained practice leads to yogic success.
