Adhyāya 42 — Mahābhūta–Indriya–Adhyātma-Vyavasthā
Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties
अभिमानो<धिभूतं च रुद्रस्तत्राधिदेवतम् । सम्पूर्ण संसारको जन्म देनेवाला अहंकार अध्यात्म है और अभिमान उसका अधिभूत तथा रुद्र उसके अधिष्ठाता देवता हैं || ३० $ ।।
adhyātmaṁ buddhir ity āhuḥ ṣaḍindriya-vicāriṇī
ヴァーユは語った。「人々は、アディヤートマとはブッディ( बुद्धि、分別の知)であると宣言する。ブッディは六つの感官を通して思惟し、熟慮する者である。」
वायुदेव उवाच
The verse teaches that adhyātma (the inner spiritual principle) is identified with buddhi, the discriminative intellect that evaluates and directs the functioning of the six senses; ethical agency rests in cultivated discernment.
Vāyudeva is explaining a doctrinal classification of inner faculties, defining adhyātma in terms of buddhi and describing its role as the deliberator over the six sense faculties.
