Adhyaya 16 — The Son’s Counsel on Renunciation and the Anasuya–Mandavya Episode: The Suspension of Sunrise and the Power of Pativrata

Sanskrit

ततः प्राप्स्यति तं योगं दुःशसंयोगभेषजम् ।

मुक्तिहेतुमनौपम्यमनाक्ख्येयमसङ्गिनम् ।

यत्संयोगान्न ते योगो भूयो भूतैर्भविष्यति ॥

Transliteration

tataḥ prāpsyati taṃ yogaṃ duḥ-śa-saṃyoga-bheṣajam |

mukti-hetum anaupamyam anākhyeyam asaṅginam |

yat-saṃyogān na te yogo bhūyo bhūtair bhaviṣyati ||

Translation

پھر تم وہ یوگ حاصل کرو گے جو ناقابلِ برداشت وابستگی (دکھ-سَنگ) کی دوا ہے۔ وہی نجات کا سبب ہے—بے مثال، ناقابلِ بیان اور بے تعلق۔ اس کے حصول سے پھر جسم داروں کے ساتھ تمہارا کوئی ‘یوگ’ (رشتہ/بندھن) نہ رہے گا۔

FAQs

What is the philosophical or ethical takeaway?

Suffering is traced to ‘saṃyoga’—mis-connection or entanglement; the cure is a yoga that culminates in non-attachment, ending the conditions for rebirth.

How does this fit the Pancalakshana (5 characteristics)?

Didactic mokṣa-śāstra embedded in a Purāṇa; not a pañcalakṣaṇa item, but a common Purāṇic function: teaching liberation-oriented dharma.

What is the esoteric significance?

The verse plays on ‘yoga’ as ‘connection’: the true yoga dissolves false connections; once established in the unattached reality, there is no further binding association with the realm of bhūtas (embodiment).
