सांख्ययोगभेदः तथा योगबलोपदेशः
Sāṃkhya–Yoga Distinction and Instruction on Yogic Strength
महायोगी महात्मा भगवान् शिवके उस रोषको समझकर वे उनसे दूर हट गये थे, योगसिद्ध उशना, गमन, आगमन और स्थानको जानते थे। अर्थात् कब हटना चाहिये, कब आना चाहिये, तथा किस अवस्थामें कहीं अन्यत्र न जाकर अपने स्थानपर ही ठहरे रहना चाहिये, इन सब बातोंको वे अच्छी तरह समझते थे ।।
sañcintya ugraṇā tapasā mahātmānaṁ maheśvaram | uśanā yogasiddhātmā śūlāgre pratyadṛśyata ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: Sa pamamagitan ng matinding tapas at nakatuong pagninilay, si Uśanā—na ang sarili ay napasakdal sa yoga—ay nagmuni-muni kay Maheśvara (Śiva), ang dakilang-kalooban. Dahil sa gayong yogic na pagtatamo, siya’y nagpakita mismo sa dulo ng trident ni Śiva. Ipinahihiwatig ng pangyayaring ito ang disiplina at pag-unawa: ang pag-alam kung kailan uurong, kailan lalapit, at kailan mananatiling matatag sa nararapat na kinalalagyan, upang ang kapangyarihan ay mapasailalim sa dharma at hindi sa bugso ng damdamin.

Educational Q&A
Spiritual power (yoga-siddhi) is grounded in disciplined austerity and clear discernment—knowing when to withdraw, when to approach, and when to remain steady in one’s rightful place—so that action aligns with dharma rather than agitation or pride.
Uśanā, accomplished in yoga, performs intense tapas and meditates on Śiva; as a result of his yogic attainment he becomes visible at the very tip of Śiva’s trident, highlighting both Śiva’s supremacy and the extraordinary reach of yogic concentration.
