Adhyāya 42 — Mahābhūta–Indriya–Adhyātma-Vyavasthā
Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties
इत्युक्तानीन्द्रियाण्येतान्येकादश यथाक्रमम् । मन्यन्ते कृतमित्येवं विदित्वा तानि पण्डिता:
ity uktānīndriyāṇy etāny ekādaśa yathākramam | manyante kṛtam ity evaṁ viditvā tāni paṇḍitāḥ ||
ដូច្នេះ ឥន្ទ្រិយទាំងដប់មួយ—នៃការយល់ដឹង និងនៃកម្ម—ត្រូវបានបង្ហាញតាមលំដាប់។ អ្នកប្រាជ្ញដែលយល់ច្បាស់អំពីសភាពពិតរបស់វា នឹងចាត់ទុកខ្លួនថា បានសម្រេចគោលបំណងហើយ។

Educational Q&A
Understanding the eleven indriyas in their proper order and true nature is presented as a mark of wisdom; such discernment supports self-mastery and leads one to feel 'kṛta'—that one’s essential aim has been accomplished.
Vāyudeva concludes a structured explanation of the eleven faculties (indriyas), stating that learned people who grasp their reality consider themselves fulfilled by that knowledge.
