अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
निःसंशयेषु सर्वेषु नित्यं वसति वै हरि: । ससंशयान् हेतुबलान् नाध्यावसति माधव:
niḥsaṃśayeṣu sarveṣu nityaṃ vasati vai hariḥ | sasaṃśayān hetubalān nādhyāvasati mādhavaḥ ||
বৈশম্পায়নে ক’লে—যিসকলৰ সকলো সংশয় সম্পূৰ্ণৰূপে দূৰ হৈছে, তেওঁলোকৰ অন্তৰত হৰি সদায় বাস কৰে। কিন্তু যিসকল কেৱল তৰ্কবলেৰে সংশয়ত আবদ্ধ থাকে, তেওঁলোকত মাধৱ অধিষ্ঠান নকৰে।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The Divine is said to abide in a mind made clear by the removal of doubt through genuine knowledge and discernment; but a mind that clings to doubt through mere contentious reasoning (hetu-bala/kutarka) becomes unfit for that indwelling presence.
Vaiśampāyana continues a didactic passage in Śānti Parva, presenting a moral-spiritual criterion: inner certainty grounded in true understanding is praised, while argumentative skepticism that perpetuates doubt is criticized as a barrier to realizing God within.
