Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
ततः कालविपयसि तेषां गुणविपर्ययात् । अपश्यं निर्गतं धर्म कामक्रोधवशात्मनाम्
tataḥ kāla-viparyaye teṣāṁ guṇa-viparyayāt | apaśyaṁ nirgataṁ dharmaṁ kāma-krodha-vaśātmanām ||
Wika ni Śakra: “Ngunit nang bumaling ang panahon sa kasamaan at nabaligtad ang kanilang mga katangian, nakita kong lumisan na sa kanila ang dharma. Nang mapasailalim sa pagnanasa at poot, hindi na sila pinamamahalaan ng katuwiran.”

Educational Q&A
When circumstances turn and inner qualities become distorted, dharma is the first casualty; surrendering the self to desire (kāma) and anger (krodha) leads to ethical collapse. The verse underscores self-mastery as the condition for sustaining righteousness.
Śakra (Indra) reports his observation that, due to an adverse turn of time and a reversal of character, dharma has left certain beings who have become dominated by desire and anger—marking a shift toward unrighteous conduct.
