Adhyaya 46 — Cosmic Dissolution, the Emergence of Brahma, and the Measures of Time (Yugas, Manvantaras, and Brahma’s Day)
प्रकृतिं पुरुषञ्चैव प्राविश्याशु जगत्पतिः ।
क्षोभयामास योगेन परेण परमेश्वरः ॥
prakṛtiṃ puruṣañ caiva prāviśyāśu jagatpatiḥ |
kṣobhayāmāsa yogena pareṇa parameśvaraḥ ||
Dengan cepat memasuki Prakṛti dan Puruṣa, Tuhan alam semesta—Parameśvara—menggetarkan keduanya melalui Yoga-Nya yang tertinggi; demikian proses perwujudan dimulai.

Creation begins with a ‘stirring’ of equilibrium—an important Sāṅkhya idea reframed theistically. It implies that order and transformation can proceed without randomness: there is a directing intelligence/power.
This is the hinge-point of Pratisarga: the initiation mechanism by which latent principles begin to manifest again.
Divine ‘Yoga’ here can be read as the mysterious linkage between transcendence and immanence—how the absolute appears as the dynamic cosmos without losing its supremacy.
