सहस््रशो5प्यनेकश: प्रवक्तुमुत्सहाम ते । अबुद्धिमोहनं पुन: प्रभुर्निनाय पावक:,वत्स! मैं तुम्हारे सामने हजारों तथा उससे भी अधिक बार यह बात जोर देकर कह सकता हूँ कि सर्वशक्तिमान्‌ तथा सबको पवित्र करनेवाले धर्मने, जिसकी बुद्धिपर मोह नहीं छा गया है, उस धर्मात्मा पुरुषको सदा ही पुण्यलोकमें पहुँचाया है

sahasraśo 'py anekaśaḥ pravaktum utsahāma te | abuddhi-mohanaṃ punaḥ prabhur nināya pāvakaḥ ||

قال فياسا: «ولو ألفَ مرة، بل مرارًا وتكرارًا، أستطيع أن أؤكد لك هذا: إنّ الربّ—المطهِّر كالنار—يزيل الوهم الذي يكسو الفهم. لذلك فالرجل الصالح الذي لم تُغلب بصيرتُه بهذا الالتباس يُهدى على الدوام إلى عالم الاستحقاق.»

Educational Q&A

Repeatedly and emphatically, the verse teaches that delusion which clouds the intellect is to be removed; when one’s understanding is not overcome by such moha, the righteous path bears fruit—leading the person toward a meritorious, auspicious realm.

Vyāsa addresses his listener and reiterates a moral certainty: the Lord, likened to purifying fire, dispels intellectual bewilderment; as a result, the dharmic person who remains clear-minded is guided toward the reward of puṇya (a higher, blessed state).
