Shloka 32
Adhyaya 40 — Creation of the World
प्राकाम्यमस्य व्यापित्वादीशित्वञ्चेश्वरो यतः ।
वखित्वाद्वशिमा नाम योगिनः सप्तमो गुणः ॥
prākāmyam asya vyāptitvād īśitvaṃ ceśvaro yataḥ / vakhitvād vaśimā nāma yoginaḥ saptamo guṇaḥ
Por sua onipresença há prākāmya (o poder de alcançar sem impedimento), e por ser Senhor há īśitva (soberania). E porque pode submeter seres e coisas ao controle, a qualidade chamada vaśitā (domínio) é dita ser o sétimo atributo do yogin.

FAQs
Extraordinary capacities (siddhis) are presented as derivative ‘attributes’ of yogic realization—arising from expansion of being (vyāpti) and mastery (īśitva/vaśitā). The implicit ethical caution is that these are powers to be understood, not ends in themselves.
This passage is not primarily sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vaṃśa/vaṃśānucarita; it belongs to ancillary upadeśa (instruction) on yoga and liberation, a common Purāṇic supplement to the pancalakṣaṇa framework.
‘Pervasiveness’ and ‘lordship’ indicate the yogin’s consciousness becoming less localized and more universal; ‘vaśitā’ symbolizes inner sovereignty—mastery over impulses and the sensed world—mirrored outwardly as control.
