Verse 7.37.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
इच्छाविषविकारस्य वियोगं योगनामकम् ।
शान्तये श्रृणु भूयोऽपि पूर्वमुक्तमपि स्फुटम् ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
icchāviṣavikārasya viyogaṃ yoganāmakam |
śāntaye śrṛṇu bhūyo'pi pūrvamuktamapi sphuṭam || 1 ||

Arguments said:— Arguments to show that the world is no production of Divine will or volition, but a reproduction of Brahma himself. Vasishtha continued:—Hear me explain to you more fully, O Rama! what I have already told you in brief, regarding the treatment of the malady of desire, which forms also an article of the practice of yoga asceticism.
