Adhyaya 46 — Cosmic Dissolution, the Emergence of Brahma, and the Measures of Time (Yugas, Manvantaras, and Brahma’s Day)
प्रकृतिं पुरुषञ्चैव प्राविश्याशु जगत्पतिः ।
क्षोभयामास योगेन परेण परमेश्वरः ॥
prakṛtiṃ puruṣañ caiva prāviśyāśu jagatpatiḥ |
kṣobhayāmāsa yogena pareṇa parameśvaraḥ ||
พระผู้เป็นเจ้าแห่งโลก—ปรเมศวร—เสด็จเข้าสู่ทั้งปรกฤติและปุรุษะโดยฉับพลัน แล้วทรงก่อให้ทั้งสองสั่นไหวด้วยโยคะอันสูงสุดของพระองค์ เป็นการเริ่มกระบวนการปรากฏแห่งสรรพสิ่ง

Creation begins with a ‘stirring’ of equilibrium—an important Sāṅkhya idea reframed theistically. It implies that order and transformation can proceed without randomness: there is a directing intelligence/power.
This is the hinge-point of Pratisarga: the initiation mechanism by which latent principles begin to manifest again.
Divine ‘Yoga’ here can be read as the mysterious linkage between transcendence and immanence—how the absolute appears as the dynamic cosmos without losing its supremacy.
