Yoga-kṛtya (योककृत्य) — Vyāsa on Sense-Restraint, Obstacles, and Brahman-Realization

एते सप्तविधात्मानो नानावीर्या: पृथक्‌ पृथक्‌ । नाशवनुवन्‌ प्रजा: स्रष्टमसमागम्य कृत्स्नश:,ये नाना प्रकारकी शक्तिवाले महत्तत््व, मन (अहंकार) और पज्चसूक्ष्म महाभूत--सात पदार्थ पृथक्‌ू-पृथक्‌ रहकर जबतक सब-के-सब मिल न सकें; तबतक उनमें प्रजाकी सृष्टि करनेकी शक्ति नहीं आयी

ete saptavidhātmāno nānā-vīryāḥ pṛthak pṛthak | nāśuvan prajāḥ sraṣṭum asamāgamya kṛtsnaśaḥ ||

Disse Vyāsa: Estes sete princípios, cada qual de natureza e potência distintas, permaneceram separados e não puderam criar seres vivos enquanto não se reuniram por inteiro. Somente por sua conjunção completa surge a capacidade de criação—mostrando que a origem do mundo depende de uma união coordenada, e não de um poder isolado.

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.
