Yoga-kṛtya (योककृत्य) — Vyāsa on Sense-Restraint, Obstacles, and Brahman-Realization
एते सप्तविधात्मानो नानावीर्या: पृथक् पृथक् । नाशवनुवन् प्रजा: स्रष्टमसमागम्य कृत्स्नश:
ete saptavidhātmāno nānā-vīryāḥ pṛthak pṛthak | nāśuvan prajāḥ sraṣṭum asamāgamya kṛtsnaśaḥ ||
Vyāsa bersabda: Tujuh prinsip ini, masing-masing berlainan sifat dan dayanya, kekal terpisah. Selama semuanya belum berhimpun sepenuhnya, mereka tidak mampu mencipta makhluk hidup. Hanya melalui pertemuan yang lengkap barulah timbul keupayaan penciptaan—menunjukkan bahawa asal-usul dunia bergantung pada kesatuan yang teratur, bukan pada kuasa yang berdiri sendiri.

No single principle, however powerful, can generate creation in isolation; only the complete conjunction of the seven distinct factors yields the capacity to produce living beings. The verse emphasizes interdependence and coordinated causality.
Vyāsa explains a cosmological point: seven separate, differently potent principles remain incapable of producing progeny until they unite fully. This frames creation as a process requiring the coming-together of multiple tattvas.
