Adhyaya 46 — Cosmic Dissolution, the Emergence of Brahma, and the Measures of Time (Yugas, Manvantaras, and Brahma’s Day)
अन्योन्यमिथुना ह्येते अन्योन्याश्रयिणस्तथा ।
क्षणं वियोगो नह्येषां न त्यजन्ति परस्परम् ॥
anyonyamithunā hy ete anyonyāśrayiṇas tathā | kṣaṇaṃ viyogo nahy eṣāṃ na tyajanti parasparam ||
诚然,此三者彼此成对相应,互为依存。对他们而言,连一刹那的分离也不存在;他们不相舍离。

No single cosmic function stands alone: creation, maintenance, and dissolution co-exist as a system. Ethically, it discourages one-sided absolutizing—balance and integration are closer to truth.
It provides the doctrinal glue for Sarga–Sthiti–Pratisarga, showing them as inseparable operations within cyclical time.
In practice, the mind’s clarity, activity, and inertia are always mixed; liberation is not merely suppressing one mode but seeing their interplay and resting in the witness beyond them.
