अव्यक्त–प्रकृति–इन्द्रियविचारः
The Unmanifest, Prakṛtis, and the Sense-Complex
यथा भानुगतं तेजो मणि: शुद्ध: समाधिना । आदत्ते राजशार्दूल तथा योग: प्रवर्तते
yathā bhānugataṃ tejo maṇiḥ śuddhaḥ samādhinā | ādatte rājaśārdūla tathā yogaḥ pravartate nṛpaśreṣṭha ||
パラーシャラは言った。「清らかな日光石が、正しい集中(三昧・サマーディ)によって太陽に宿る光輝を取り入れるように、王の中の虎よ、最上の統治者よ、ヨーガもまたそのように進む。三昧によって修行者はブラフマンの本性を受け取り、悟り知るのである。」
पराशर उवाच
Yoga becomes effective through samādhi: when the mind is purified and steadily absorbed, it can ‘receive’ or directly realize the highest reality (Brahman), just as a pure sunstone draws the sun’s radiance.
Parāśara is instructing a king (addressed honorifically as rājaśārdūla/nṛpaśreṣṭha) on the inner mechanics of spiritual practice, using a natural metaphor to explain how concentrated meditation enables realization.
