Yoga-kṛtya (योककृत्य) — Vyāsa on Sense-Restraint, Obstacles, and Brahman-Realization
एते सप्तविधात्मानो नानावीर्या: पृथक् पृथक् । नाशवनुवन् प्रजा: स्रष्टमसमागम्य कृत्स्नश:
ete saptavidhātmāno nānā-vīryāḥ pṛthak pṛthak | nāśuvan prajāḥ sraṣṭum asamāgamya kṛtsnaśaḥ ||
毗耶娑说：此七种原理，各具异性异力，彼此分离；只要它们未能全体圆满会合，便不能生起创造众生之能。唯有完全结合，创造之力方才出现——由此可知，世界之起源系于协调的合一，而非孤立之力。

No single principle, however powerful, can generate creation in isolation; only the complete conjunction of the seven distinct factors yields the capacity to produce living beings. The verse emphasizes interdependence and coordinated causality.
Vyāsa explains a cosmological point: seven separate, differently potent principles remain incapable of producing progeny until they unite fully. This frames creation as a process requiring the coming-together of multiple tattvas.
