Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
त्वमप्येतनन््महा भाग मयोक्तं ब्रह्मणो वच: । सम्यगाचर शुद्धात्मंस्तत: सिद्धिमवाप्स्यसि,महाभाग! तुम्हारा चित्त शुद्ध है, इसलिये तुम भी मेरे बताये हुए ब्रह्माजीके उत्तम उपदेशका भलीभाँति पालन करो। इससे तुम्हें भी सिद्धि प्राप्त होगी
tvam apy etan mahābhāga mayoktaṁ brahmaṇo vacaḥ | samyag āchara śuddhātmāṁs tataḥ siddhim avāpsyasi mahābhāga ||
Vāyu sprach: „O Hochbegünstigter, da dein Geist rein ist, übe auch du diese erhabene Lehre Brahmās, die ich dir übermittelt habe, in rechter Weise. Wenn du ihr gut folgst, wirst auch du Siddhi erlangen.“

Educational Q&A
Right practice matters: a pure-minded person should faithfully follow the authoritative instruction (here attributed to Brahmā and transmitted by Vāyu). Proper conduct in accordance with that teaching leads to siddhi—successful spiritual attainment.
Vāyudeva addresses a noble listener, affirming the listener’s inner purity and urging him to implement the counsel that Vāyu has relayed from Brahmā. The verse functions as an exhortation: practice the instruction correctly and the promised attainment will follow.
