Sanatkumāra’s Bhāgavata Tantra: Tattvas, Māyā-Bonds, Embodiment, and the Necessity of Dīkṣā
मायेयश्चैव पाशोऽयं येनावृतमिदं जगत् । अशुद्धाध्वामतो ह्येष धरण्यादिकलावधिः ॥ ९१ ॥
māyeyaścaiva pāśo'yaṃ yenāvṛtamidaṃ jagat | aśuddhādhvāmato hyeṣa dharaṇyādikalāvadhiḥ || 91 ||
Inilah belenggu yang lahir daripada Māyā, yang menutupi seluruh jagat. Maka ia dinamakan “jalan penzahiran yang tidak suci”, terbentang dari unsur bumi hingga ke kalā-kalā (unsur kosmik) yang lebih tinggi.
