सांख्ययोगभेदः तथा योगबलोपदेशः

Sāṃkhya–Yoga Distinction and Instruction on Yogic Strength

आनतेनाथ शूलेन पाणिनामिततेजसा । पिनाकमिति चोवाच शूलमुग्रायुध: प्रभु:

ānatena atha śūlena pāṇināmitatejasā | pinākam iti covāca śūlam ugrāyudhaḥ prabhuḥ ||

Бхишма сказал: Затем, когда тот трезубец — согнутый рукой Владыки неизмеримого сияния — преобразился в подобие лука, могучий Шива, владыка грозного оружия, назвал этот трезубец «Пинака», ибо он был «склонён» (ānata) его рукой. Эпизод показывает, как божественная сила способна направить даже орудие разрушения в дисциплинированную, целенаправленную форму, и как имя хранит нравственную память о совершённом деянии.

Educational Q&A

Even formidable force (a trident) can be redirected into controlled purpose (a bow) under rightful authority; the naming ‘Pināka’ preserves the moral memory that power should be made to ‘bow’ to higher order and discipline.

Śiva bends a trident with his hand; it takes the form of a bow. Because it was made to bow (ānata), Śiva names it ‘Pināka’. Bhīṣma narrates this as part of a larger account in the Śānti Parva.
