Brahma-vidyā: Satya–Tapas and the Enumeration of Tattvas
Arjuna–Vāsudeva framed dialogue
यो विद्वान सहसंवासं विवासं चैव पश्यति । तथैवैकत्वनानात्वे स दुःखात् परिमुच्यते,जो विद्वान् संयोग और वियोगको तथा वैसे ही एकत्व और नानात्वको एक साथ तत्त्वतः जानता है, वह दुःखसे मुक्त हो जाता है
yo vidvān sahasaṃvāsaṃ vivāsaṃ caiva paśyati | tathaivaikatva-nānātve sa duḥkhāt parimucyate ||
বায়ুৱে ক’লে— যি বিদ্বান সংযোগ আৰু বিয়োগক, আৰু তদ্ৰূপ একত্ব আৰু নানাত্বক তত্ত্বত একেলগে দেখে, সি দুখৰ পৰা মুক্ত হয়।
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Clear discernment of life’s opposites—union and separation, oneness and diversity—dissolves attachment and confusion; with that insight, sorrow no longer binds the mind.
In Ashvamedhika Parva, Vāyu speaks as a teacher, offering a reflective, philosophical instruction: the listener is urged to ‘see’ reality correctly, so that grief arising from changing relationships and shifting identities is overcome.
