"Kalâ" is part, a digit of the Moon. "Anasuyâ" means absence of envy. From the proverbial chastity of Atri’s wife the word also means the highest type of chastity and wifely devotion. "Sraddhâ" means faith. "Havirbhu" means born of sacrificial oblation. "Gati" means course, path. "Kriyâ" means performance (of Yajna) and action. "Khyâti" means fame, praise and also proper discrimination. "Arundhati" would perhaps mean one that does not stop or hinder. Probably the word means a wife who helps her husband in the performance of duties and does not stop or prevent him. It is for this reason that the Star Arundhati is pointed out to the bride at the nuptial ceremony. "Sânti" is peace, the well known invocation of the Vedas at the end of a Mantra. "Kardama" means clay. He was born of Brahmâ’s Chhâyâ or shadow. Devahûti, being wedded to the materialised shadow of the whole Universe, gave rise to certain female types which in their turn on being wedded to the Rishis, the highest Planetary Intelligences, became the progenitors of all the life forms of the Universe. Kapila was one of the earliest Rishis. The word — Kapila means tawny or brown coloured.] X. KAPILA’S INSTRUCTION TO HIS MOTHER DEVAHÛTI. *SKANDHA III., CHAP. 25-33.* We now come to an important part of the Bhâgavata Purâna, the teachings of Kapila to his mother in the Yoga philosophy of the Bhagavat Purâna. They adapt the Sânkhya and the Yoga systems to Bhakti or devotion. For a full knowledge of the teachings I refer my readers to the Purâna itself, I shall only give the salient points and avoid details as much as possible, without breaking the continuity of the discourses. "Yoga directed towards Âtmâ brings about Mukti. Chitta attached to the transformations of Gunas causes Bondage; attached to Purûsha, it causes Mukti. When the mind is pure and free from distractions, man perceives Âtmâ in himself, by Wisdom, Dispassion and Devotion. There is no path so friendly to the Yogins as constant devotion to Bhagavân. Company of Sâdhus opens wide the door to Mukti. They are Sâdhus who have forbearance and compassion, who are friendly to all beings, who have no enemies, who are free from passions, and above all who have firm and undivided Bhakti in Me. They give up all for My sake and they hear and speak no words that do not relate to Me. Their company removes the impurities of worldliness. Men first hear about Me from the Sâdhus. By faith their heart is drawn towards Me, and they have devotion for Me. Devotion causes Dispassion and makes easy the path of Yoga. By indifference to the Guna transformations of Prakriti, by wisdom fostered by Dispassion, by Yoga and by Bhakti (devotion) offered to Me, the Jiva attains Me even while in this body."
