Yoga-kṛtya (योककृत्य) — Vyāsa on Sense-Restraint, Obstacles, and Brahman-Realization

स वै सृजति भूतानि स्थावराणि चराणि च । ततः स सृजति ब्रह्मा देवर्षिपितृमानवान्‌

sa vai sṛjati bhūtāni sthāvarāṇi carāṇi ca | tataḥ sa sṛjati brahmā devarṣi-pitṛ-mānavān |

Sinabi ni Vyāsa: Siya nga ang lumilikha ng lahat ng nilalang, maging yaong di-gumagalaw at yaong gumagalaw. Pagkaraan, ang mismong Brahmā na iyon ang lumilikha ng mga diyos, ng mga banal na rishi, ng mga ninuno, at ng mga tao—ipinapakita na ang kaayusan ng sansinukob ay nagmumula sa iisang simulain ng paglikha na sumasandig sa lahat ng uri ng buhay at tungkulin sa daigdig.

Educational Q&A

The verse frames existence as an ordered creation: first the totality of beings (immobile and mobile), and then the differentiated classes—gods, sages, ancestors, and humans—implying that dharma and social-religious obligations rest on a cosmic hierarchy established by the creator.

Vyāsa is describing the process of cosmic origination: a supreme creative agency brings forth all beings, and Brahmā, as the creator figure, generates the principal categories of sentient and divine life that populate and regulate the world.
