Adhyāya 42 — Mahābhūta–Indriya–Adhyātma-Vyavasthā
Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties
ज्ञानमस्य हि धर्मज्ञा: प्राप्त ज्ञानवतामिह । इस प्रकार मैंने तुम लोगोंसे अध्यात्मविधिका यथावत् वर्णन किया। धर्मज्ञजन! ज्ञानी पुरुषोंको इस विषयका सम्यक् ज्ञान होता है
jñānam asya hi dharmajñāḥ prāpta-jñānavatām iha | iti prakāreṇa mayā yuṣmān prati adhyātma-vidhikā yathāvat varṇanam kṛtam | dharmajñajanāḥ jñāninaḥ puruṣāḥ asmin viṣaye samyak jñānam vindanti |
Vāyu bersabda: “Mereka yang sungguh mengetahui dharma, dan mereka yang telah meraih wawasan di dunia ini, memiliki pengetahuan yang jernih tentang perkara ini. Demikianlah telah kuuraikan kepadamu, menurut urutan yang tepat, tata cara disiplin rohani. Wahai para pengenal dharma—orang bijak memahami pokok ini dengan benar dan sempurna.”

Educational Q&A
True understanding of spiritual discipline (adhyātma-vidhi) belongs to those grounded in dharma and mature in knowledge; the teaching must be grasped correctly and in proper order (yathāvat), leading to samyak-jñāna (right, complete understanding).
Vāyudeva concludes or summarizes an instruction: he tells his listeners that he has properly explained the method of inner spiritual practice, and he affirms that wise, dharma-knowing people comprehend this subject accurately.
