Yoga-kṛtya (योककृत्य) — Vyāsa on Sense-Restraint, Obstacles, and Brahman-Realization
स वै सृजति भूतानि स्थावराणि चराणि च । ततः स सृजति ब्रह्मा देवर्षिपितृमानवान्
sa vai sṛjati bhūtāni sthāvarāṇi carāṇi ca | tataḥ sa sṛjati brahmā devarṣi-pitṛ-mānavān |
毗耶娑说:他确实生出一切众生,既有不动者,亦有能动者。其后,正是那位梵天又创造诸天、天仙圣贤、祖灵与人类——昭示宇宙秩序出自唯一的创造原理,由此维系世间一切生命类别与法之职责。
व्यास उवाच
The verse frames existence as an ordered creation: first the totality of beings (immobile and mobile), and then the differentiated classes—gods, sages, ancestors, and humans—implying that dharma and social-religious obligations rest on a cosmic hierarchy established by the creator.
Vyāsa is describing the process of cosmic origination: a supreme creative agency brings forth all beings, and Brahmā, as the creator figure, generates the principal categories of sentient and divine life that populate and regulate the world.
