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 ||
Parāśara nói: “Trong dân chúng ấy nảy sinh kiêu mạn, kẻ hủy diệt Dharma. Và khi tâm trí họ đã bị kiêu mạn chiếm giữ, thì sau đó cơn giận liền bùng lên trong họ.”
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.
