Bharata’s Attachment and the Palanquin Teaching on ‘I’ and ‘Mine’
एवं व्यवस्थिते तत्त्वे मयाहमिति भावितुम् । पृथकूचरणनिष्पाद्यं शक्यं तु नृपते कथम् ॥ ९५ ॥
evaṃ vyavasthite tattve mayāhamiti bhāvitum | pṛthakūcaraṇaniṣpādyaṃ śakyaṃ tu nṛpate katham || 95 ||
かくのごとく真理(タットヴァ)が確立されたなら、王よ、いかにして「我」や「我がもの」という想いを、あたかも別個の個人的努力によって作り出し保つべきもののように、なお抱き続け得ようか。

Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
It points out that once tattva (ultimate Reality) is rightly understood, the ego-notion of “I” and “mine” cannot be legitimately sustained; liberation follows from seeing that separateness is not ultimately real.
By undermining “mine-ness,” it supports surrender (śaraṇāgati): devotion matures when one stops claiming independent doership and possessiveness, offering the self and actions to the Supreme.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is inner discipline—reducing ahamkāra and mamakāra through discernment (viveka) and detachment (vairāgya).
