Adhyāya 48: Brahmopadeśa on Prāṇāyāma, Sāttvika Vṛtti, and the Sattva–Kṣetrajña Question
तथैवैकत्वनानात्वमिष्यते विदुषां नय: । मशकोदुम्बरे चैक्यं पृथक्त्वमपि दृश्यते
tathaivaikatva-nānātvam iṣyate viduṣāṃ nayaḥ | maśakodumbare caikyaṃ pṛthaktvam api dṛśyate ||
“同样，学者深思后的定论，兼摄一与多。因为就蚋虫与优昙婆罗（udumbara，丛生无花果）而言，人们既可见其相连之‘一’，亦可见其各别之‘异’。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that a mature philosophical view can accommodate both unity and diversity: things may be distinct in form and function, yet connected or ‘one’ in dependence, relation, or underlying reality.
Vāyudeva is instructing through an analogy. By pointing to the gnat and the udumbara, he illustrates how learned thinkers justify accepting apparently opposing descriptions—oneness and separateness—depending on the standpoint.
