intermediate
यो योनिं योनिमधितिष्ठत्येको विश्वानि रूपाणि योनीश्च सर्वाः। ऋषिं प्रसूतं कपिलं यस्तमग्रे ज्ञानैर्बिभर्ति जायमानं च पश्येत्॥
yo yoniṃ yonimAdhitiṣṭhatyeko viśvāni rūpāṇi yonīśca sarvāḥ | ṛṣiṃ prasūtaṃ kapilaṃ yastamAgre jñānairbibharti jāyamānaṃ ca paśyet ||
"He who presides over every source, every form, and all sources - He who in the beginning nurtured with knowledge the golden sage Kapila, and saw him being born."
What This Means:
The one Lord presides over all sources and forms. He nurtured the ancient sage Kapila with knowledge and witnessed his birth.
Going Deeper:
Kapila is the legendary founder of Sankhya philosophy. The verse suggests God is prior even to the sage who revealed cosmic principles.
How To Apply This:
Know that the source of all philosophy and knowledge is ultimately the Divine. Even sages are nurtured by God.
