Adhyaya 20 — Ritadhvaja’s Companionship with the Naga Princes and the Origin of the Horse Kuvalaya
नाविज्ञातं न चागम्यं नाप्राप्यं दिवि चेह वा ।
उद्यतानां मनुष्याणां यतचित्तेन्द्रियात्मनाम् ॥
nāvijñātaṃ na cāgamyaṃ nāprāpyaṃ divi ceha vā | udyatānāṃ manuṣyāṇāṃ yata-cittendriyātmanām ||
أمّا البشرُ الذين يجاهدون—وقد ضُبِطت عقولُهم وحواسُّهم وذواتُهم—فلا شيءَ يَجهلونه، ولا شيءَ يعجزون عن بلوغه، ولا شيءَ يتعذّر عليهم نيله، سواءٌ في السماء أو هنا على الأرض.

Didactic/yogic-ethical material; not directly one of the five defining purāṇic topics.
‘Heaven and earth’ can symbolize higher and lower states of consciousness; the disciplined practitioner can traverse and realize both, implying mastery over experiential realms.
