Svapna–Manas–Guṇa–Brahma-vicāra
ततो देवाधिदेव: स योगात्मा योगसारथि: । योगमास्थाय भगवांस्तदा भरतसत्तम
tato devādhidevaḥ sa yogātmā yogasārathiḥ | yogam āsthāya bhagavāṁs tadā bharatasattama ||
毗湿摩说道：“随后，那位诸神之上的神——其体性即是瑜伽，并如御者般驾驭瑜伽——入于瑜伽之境。那时，噢婆罗多族中最卓越者，世尊施展瑜伽威力，发出震天长吼，使底提耶与达那婆的众军惊扰动荡。那可怖的吼声令三界与十方尽皆回响。”

Educational Q&A
The verse presents Yoga not merely as personal discipline but as sovereign divine power: the Supreme Lord ‘takes refuge in Yoga’ to uphold cosmic order. Ethically, it implies that true power is governed by inner mastery and is exercised to restrain disruptive forces (symbolized by Daityas and Danavas) and protect the worlds.
Bhishma describes the Supreme Lord (contextually Varāha) entering a yogic state and roaring with immense force. The roar terrifies and destabilizes the demonic hosts and reverberates through the three worlds and all directions, signaling divine intervention and the reassertion of order.
