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 ||
ବ୍ୟାସ କହିଲେ—ମହତ୍ତତ୍ତ୍ୱ, ଅହଂକାର, ମନ ଏବଂ ପାଞ୍ଚ ସୂକ୍ଷ୍ମ ମହାଭୂତ—ଏହି ସାତ ତତ୍ତ୍ୱ ନାନା ଶକ୍ତିସମ୍ପନ୍ନ ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ପୃଥକ୍ ପୃଥକ୍ ଥିଲେ। ସେମାନେ ସମସ୍ତେ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବେ ଏକତ୍ର ନ ହେଉଅବଧି, ପ୍ରଜା ସୃଷ୍ଟି କରିବାକୁ ସମର୍ଥ ହେଲେ ନାହିଁ।

Educational Q&A
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.
