अध्याय २९४ — योगलक्षणम् तथा सांख्यपरिसंख्यानम्
Yoga Definition and Sāṃkhya Enumeration
तासां दर्प: समभवत् प्रजानां धर्मनाशन: । दर्पात्मनां ततः पश्चात् क्रोधस्तासामजायत
tāsāṁ darpaḥ samabhavat prajānāṁ dharmanāśanaḥ | darpātmanāṁ tataḥ paścāt krodhas tāsām ajāyata ||
Sinabi ni Parāśara: “Sa mga taong iyon ay sumibol ang kayabangan—isang tagawasak ng dharma. At nang masapian ang kanilang isipan ng kayabangan, saka sumunod na sumiklab ang galit sa kanila.”
पराशर उवाच
The verse presents a moral-psychological chain: pride (darpa) undermines dharma, and once pride dominates the mind, anger (krodha) naturally follows. Ethical decline is shown as beginning inwardly, in dispositions, before it appears outwardly in harmful actions.
Parāśara is describing the degeneration of the people: arrogance first manifests among them and destroys their commitment to dharma; after pride takes root in their inner nature, anger arises as its consequence.
