Sanatkumāra’s Bhāgavata Tantra: Tattvas, Māyā-Bonds, Embodiment, and the Necessity of Dīkṣā
शक्तं यां वृत्तिभेदात्तुविहिताः खलु कल्पनाः । चिज्जडानुग्रहार्थाय कृत्वा रूपाणि वै प्रभुः ॥ ३८ ॥
śaktaṃ yāṃ vṛttibhedāttuvihitāḥ khalu kalpanāḥ | cijjaḍānugrahārthāya kṛtvā rūpāṇi vai prabhuḥ || 38 ||
ដោយសារភាពខុសគ្នានៃរបៀបប្រតិបត្តិ (វ្រឹត្តិ-ភេទ) ការសន្មត់នានាត្រូវបានដាក់ឡើងចំពោះអំណាចនោះឯង។ ព្រះប្រពុទ្ធ (ព្រះអម្ចាស់) ទទួលយករូបរាងផ្សេងៗ ដើម្បីប្រទានព្រះគុណដល់ទាំងអ្នកមានចិត្តដឹង និងអសកម្ម។

Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It explains that many doctrinal descriptions of Śakti arise from differing functional standpoints (vṛttis), while the Lord’s taking of forms is fundamentally an act of grace meant to guide both conscious beings and those bound to inert materiality.
By stating that the Lord assumes forms for anugraha, it supports bhakti: devotees can approach the transcendent through accessible divine manifestations, trusting that form is a compassionate means for upliftment rather than a limitation.
The verse points to a Vyākaraṇa/Nyāya-style precision in meaning: distinctions are traced to vṛtti-bheda (modes of operation/usage), showing how interpretive frameworks generate different formulations (kalpanā) without denying the single underlying principle.
