द्वितीयः सात्विकश्चायमस्मान्मत्तो विनश्यति । अष्टौ पश्यति योनीश्च देवानां दैव इत्यसौ
dvitīyaḥ sātvikaścāyamasmānmatto vinaśyati | aṣṭau paśyati yonīśca devānāṃ daiva ityasau
ఇది రెండవదీ సాత్త్వికమే; కాని మదము (అహంకారం)గా మారినప్పుడు నశిస్తుంది. దేవతల అష్ట యోనులను దర్శించువాడే ‘దైవ’ (విఘ్నము) అని చెప్పబడును.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced for Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative frame)
Scene: A yogin seated in meditation, a faint aura of ‘divine’ radiance rising, while a shadowy figure of Pride (mada) approaches; above, eight luminous ‘yonis’/sources appear like eight lotus-wombs, signifying divine orders that can still be ensnared by subtle fault.
Even refined, sāttvic visions can become a downfall if they generate spiritual intoxication and attachment.
No; the verse is about inner yogic phenomena (daiva-darśana) rather than sacred geography.
None; it cautions against attachment to visionary experiences.
