Bharata’s Attachment and the Palanquin Teaching on ‘I’ and ‘Mine’
तथान्यजंतुभिर्भूप शिबिकोढान केवलम् । शैलद्रुमगृहोत्थोऽपि पृथिवीसंभवोऽपि च ॥ ६५ ॥
tathānyajaṃtubhirbhūpa śibikoḍhāna kevalam | śailadrumagṛhottho'pi pṛthivīsaṃbhavo'pi ca || 65 ||
同样地,大王啊,这乘舆以及抬负之事,不过是诸他众生之所为。即便出自山岳、林木与屋舍之物,也同样由大地而生。

It trains the mind toward vairāgya by showing that celebrated comforts (like being carried in a palanquin) depend on other beings and that all constructed or collected things ultimately arise from the earth—hence they are not fit to be treated as the Self.
By reducing pride and attachment to status-objects, the verse supports bhakti: when one sees possessions and honors as earth-born and dependent, the heart more easily turns to single-pointed remembrance of the Lord rather than to external display.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught directly; the practical takeaway is ethical-spiritual discernment—seeing material conveniences as contingent and impermanent, which aligns with Mokṣa-dharma instruction.
