Adhyaya 17 — The Birth of Atri’s Three Sons: Soma, Dattatreya, and Durvasa
सोमत्वं भगवानत्रैः पुनश्चक्रे प्रजापतिः ।
दत्तात्रेयोऽपि विषयान् योगास्थो बुभुजे हरिः ॥
somatvaṃ bhagavān atraiḥ punaś cakre prajāpatiḥ | dattātreyo 'pi viṣayān yogāstho bubhuje hariḥ ||
പ്രജാപതി വീണ്ടും പൂജ്യനായ അത്രിക്ക് സോമപദവി നൽകി; ദത്താത്രേയനും—ഹരി—യോഗത്തിൽ സ്ഥാപിതനായി, വിഷയങ്ങളെ അനുഭവിച്ചിട്ടും യോഗസമതയിൽ സ്ഥിരനായി നിന്നു.

The text distinguishes indulgence from free experience: a yogin may encounter objects without bondage when established in yoga. It also portrays cosmic order as maintained through Prajāpati’s bestowal of roles/status.
Vaṃśānucarita (accounts of sages and divine functions) with Dharma/Yoga instruction; it is not primarily cosmogenesis but exemplifies how Purāṇas teach liberation within narrative.
‘Enjoying while yogāstha’ encodes the jīvanmukta ideal: contact occurs at the sensory level, but appropriation (ahaṃkāra/mamatā) is absent. ‘Soma-status’ suggests restored luminosity/nectar-like clarity in consciousness.
