ईश्वर उवाच
 
शुभाशुभमिति त्रिधा ।
सुन्दरि ॥ २१६ ॥
 
अर्थकालजयप्रश्न
एतत्त्रिकाल विज्ञानं नान्यद्भवति
 
Isvara said : O my Beauty ! The knowledge of obtaining
wealth in all the three times ( past, present, and future ) also
victory in all the three times comes from Svarodaya. There
is no other science which would enable anyone to know
about these.
 
तत्त्वे शुभाशुभं कार्य तत्त्वे जयपराजयो ।
 
तत्त्वे सुभिक्षदर्भिक्षे तत्त्वं त्रिपदमुच्यते ॥ २१७॥
 
The auspicious and inauspicious works are under Tattvas;
victory or defeat also is under the Tattvas; draught and
prosperity are also under the Tattvas. Thus the Tattvas are
said to be the cause of the works of all the three times.

that which is the best friend of men and that which gives
them success in this sea-like world.
 
ईश्वर उवाच
 
प्राण एव परं मित्रं प्राण एव परः सखा ।
 
प्राणतुल्यः परो बन्धुर्नास्ति नास्ति वरानने ॥२१९॥
 
Isvara replied: O Lady of Beautiful Face! The Prāṇa is
the best friend and companion. There is no other well-
wisher like it.
 
श्री देव्युवाच
 
कथं प्राणस्थितो वायुर्देहः किं प्राणरूपकः ।
 
तत्त्वेषु संचरन्प्राणी ज्ञायते योगिभिःकथम् ॥२२०॥
 
Parvatī said: How does the Wind reside in the Prara,
and is the body Prana-like? And meditating upon the
Elements how can the Yogis know about the Prāņa ?
