Anadhyaya and the Winds: From Vedic Recitation Protocol to Sanatkumara’s Moksha-Upadesha
परिभ्रमति संसारे चक्रवद्बाहुवर्जितः । संयमेन च संबंधान्निवृत्त्या तपसो बलात् ॥ ९३ ॥
paribhramati saṃsāre cakravadbāhuvarjitaḥ | saṃyamena ca saṃbaṃdhānnivṛttyā tapaso balāt || 93 ||
失却正当方便之“臂”,便如轮般在轮回中漂转不息;然以自制(saṃyama)可断诸系著,以出离(nivṛtti)并凭苦行之力(tapas),得至解脱。
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada on Moksha-dharma)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: vira
It frames saṃsāra as repetitive, mechanical wandering (like a wheel) caused by lack of true inner support, and teaches that liberation comes by cutting attachments through saṃyama and strengthening nivṛtti with tapas.
While not naming bhakti directly, it supports bhakti’s inner requirement: self-restraint and detachment from worldly ties. Such nivṛtti makes the mind fit for single-pointed devotion to Vishnu and freedom from binding attachments.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is yogic discipline—saṃyama and tapas—as applied ethics and mind-training within Moksha-dharma.
