Sāṃkhya–Yoga Distinction and Instruction on Yogic Strength
एष भार्गवदायादो मुनिर्मान्यो दृढव्रत: । सुराणां विप्रियकरो निमित्ते कारणात्मके
eṣa bhārgavadāyādo munirmānyo dṛḍhavrataḥ | surāṇāṃ vipriyakaro nimitte kāraṇātmake ||
Бхишма сказал: «Этот мудрец, потомок Бхригу, достоин почитания и твёрд в своих обетах. Но из‑за особого стечения причин—случая, ставшего самой причиной,—он обратился к деяниям против воли богов и сделался им ненавистен».
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even a venerable, vow-observing sage can come into conflict with the gods when circumstances become causally decisive; the verse highlights how ethical and cosmic relationships may shift due to specific causes (nimitta) rather than mere character alone.
Bhīṣma introduces a Bhārgava sage—honored and firm in vows—who, because of a particular triggering cause, became displeasing to the gods and opposed to them, setting up an explanation of why that conflict arose.
