Shloka 53
परत्रगामिकस्य ते कृताकृतस्य कर्मण: । न साक्षि आत्मना समो नृणामिहास्ति कश्नन,परलोककी यात्रा करते समय तुम्हारे किये और न किये हुए कर्मका साक्षी आत्माके समान मनुष्योंमें दूसरा कोई नहीं है
paratragāmikasya te kṛtākṛtasya karmaṇaḥ | na sākṣī ātmanā samo nṛṇām ihāsti kaścana ||
পৰলোকযাত্ৰাত তোমাৰ কৰা আৰু নকৰা কৰ্মৰ সাক্ষী আত্মাৰ সমান এই জগতত মানুহৰ মাজত আন কোনো নাই।

Educational Q&A
That the Self (ātman) is the supreme witness of one’s actions and omissions; external approval or concealment cannot erase moral responsibility, especially when one faces the consequences in the hereafter.
Vyāsa delivers an ethical instruction: as a person approaches death and the ‘journey to the next world,’ the decisive testimony about their life is not social opinion but the inner Self that knows the truth of what was done and what was neglected.
