Shloka 66
योग–सांख्यसमन्वयः, रथोपमा, व्यक्त–अव्यक्तविवेकः
Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
संकराश्षाभ्यवर्तन्त न च शौचमवर्तत । ये च वेदविदो विप्रा विस्पष्टमनचश्न ये
saṅkarāś cābhyavartanta na ca śaucam avartata | ye ca vedavido viprā vispaṣṭam anacaśn ye ||
Wika ni Śakra: “Sa lahat ng dako’y sumiklab ang pagkalito at paghahalo-halo, ngunit hindi nanaig ang kadalisayan at ang disiplinadong kalinisan. Maging ang mga brahmin na nakaaalam ng Veda—na nararapat sanang mamuhay sa malinaw na pagpipigil—ay hindi nagpanatili ng hayag na pamantayan ng wastong asal.”

Educational Q&A
Vedic learning without lived discipline is hollow: when śauca (purity and self-restraint) collapses, social and moral saṅkara (confusion and disorder) spreads, even among those expected to uphold dharma.
Indra (Śakra) is describing a period of ethical deterioration: disorder becomes widespread and the expected standards of purity and restraint fail to be maintained, including by Veda-knowing brahmins.
