बुद्धिरध्यवसायेन ज्ञानेन च महांस्तथा । निश्चित्य ग्रहणाद्‌ व्यक्तमव्यक्तं नात्र संशय:,निश्चयके द्वारा बुद्धिका और ज्ञानके द्वारा महत्तत्त्वका ग्रहण होता है। इनके कार्योंसे ही इनकी सत्ताका निश्चय होता है और इसीसे इन्हें व्यक्त माना जाता है, किंतु वास्तवमें तो अतीन्द्रिय होनेके कारण ये बुद्धि आदि अव्यक्त ही हैं, इसमें संशय नहीं है

buddhir adhyavasāyena jñānena ca mahāṁs tathā | niścitya grahaṇād vyaktam avyaktam nātra saṁśayaḥ ||

وایو نے کہا— عزمِ قاطع (ادھیَوَسای) کے ذریعے بدھی کا ادراک ہوتا ہے اور گیان کے ذریعے مہتَتَتْو بھی متعین ہوتا ہے۔ ان کے افعال سے ہی ان کی ہستی کا اندازہ ہوتا ہے، اسی لیے انہیں ‘وَیَکت’ کہا جاتا ہے؛ مگر حقیقت میں حواس سے ماورا ہونے کے سبب بدھی وغیرہ سب ‘اَوَیَکت’ ہی ہیں—اس میں کوئی شک نہیں۔

Educational Q&A

The verse distinguishes between what is called ‘manifest’ due to functional inference and what is truly ‘unmanifest’ because it is beyond the senses. Intellect (buddhi) is known through determination, and the mahat principle through knowledge; yet both remain essentially supersensory, so their ‘manifestness’ is only a manner of speaking based on their observable effects.

Vāyudeva is explaining subtle principles of inner psychology and cosmology—how one recognizes faculties like intellect and cosmic intelligence. He clarifies that these are not directly seen like physical objects; they are established by their operations and thus discussed as ‘manifest’, while remaining fundamentally ‘unmanifest’ to the senses.
