शुकस्य मिथिलागमनम् (Śukasya Mithilāgamanam) — Śuka’s Journey to Mithilā and the Courtly Test
तमप्यनुपमात्मान विश्व शम्भु: प्रजापति: । अणिमा लघिमा प्राप्तिरीशानो ज्योतिरव्यय:
tam apy anupamātmānaṃ viśva-śambhuḥ prajāpatiḥ | aṇimā laghimā prāptir īśāno jyotir avyayaḥ ||
Yājñavalkya disse: «Até mesmo esse Ser incomparável—Prajāpati, Śambhu, o Senhor auspicioso do universo—soberano controlador, Luz imperecível e mestre de poderes como aṇimā (minúcia), laghimā (leveza) e prāpti (alcance sem obstáculo), atrai de volta o princípio cósmico e o reabsorve em Si mesmo.»

Educational Q&A
All powers and cosmic principles ultimately depend on the Supreme Lord, described as imperishable Light and sovereign controller; therefore one should seek inner realization and humility rather than attachment to extraordinary powers (siddhis).
Yājñavalkya is describing the Supreme—Prajāpati/Īśāna—who governs even exalted capacities like aṇimā, laghimā, and prāpti, and in whom the manifested cosmic principle is finally reabsorbed.
