Abhaya-Itihāsa: Karma, Indriyas, and the Non-sensory Brahman
Brāhmaṇī–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda
तत एव प्रवर्तन्ते तदेव प्रविशन्ति च | “उसीसे सृष्टि आदिका विस्तार होता है और उसीमें उसकी स्थिति है। प्राण, अपान, समान, व्यान और उदान--से उसीसे प्रकट होते और फिर उसीमें प्रविष्ट हो जाते हैं ।।
tata eva pravartante tadeva praviśanti ca |
Vāyu-deva disse: Dele somente elas surgem e entram em atividade, e nele somente tornam a entrar. Todas as funções vitais—prāṇa, apāna, samāna, vyāna e udāna—manifestam-se desse fundamento supremo e, por fim, dissolvem-se de novo nele.
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
All vital forces and life-functions originate from a single supreme ground (tad) and finally return to it. The verse emphasizes unity behind the many operations of life, encouraging detachment and insight into the source that sustains all activity.
Vāyu-deva is explaining the nature of the vital airs: they emerge from an ultimate principle, function within embodied life, and then dissolve back into that same principle. This instruction frames physiology as a spiritual teaching about origin, dependence, and dissolution.
