Sanatkumāra’s Bhāgavata Tantra: Tattvas, Māyā-Bonds, Embodiment, and the Necessity of Dīkṣā
शुद्धेऽध्वनि गतावेतौ विज्ञानप्रलयाकलौ । कलादितत्त्वनियतः सकलः पर्यटत्ययम् ॥ २० ॥
śuddhe'dhvani gatāvetau vijñānapralayākalau | kalāditattvaniyataḥ sakalaḥ paryaṭatyayam || 20 ||
「ヴィジュニャーナ・カーラー」(Vijñāna-kalā)と「プララヤ・カーラー」(Pralaya-kalā)の二つが清浄なる道に入ったときも、この「サカラ」(Sakala、部分により条件づけられた具身の我)は、カーラーに始まる諸原理に制約されつつ、なお遍歴し続ける。

It describes how the embodied being (sakala) remains bound to a chain of subtle principles (kalāādi-tattvas) and therefore keeps wandering, even as higher inner powers related to knowledge and dissolution are spoken of in relation to the “pure path.”
By implying that liberation requires moving beyond limiting tattvas, it supports the bhakti framework where single-point devotion to Viṣṇu and inner purification help the seeker transcend conditioned wandering and approach the pure course (śuddhādhvan).
The verse is primarily tattva-based (technical metaphysics used alongside Yoga/Āgamic categories), encouraging disciplined analysis (viveka) and purification—skills aligned with Vedāṅga-supported study methods (clear terminology, precise categorization) rather than a specific ritual rule.
