Shloka 33
Jñāna-yoga and Karma-phala: Manu–Bṛhaspati on Akṣara and the Limits of Mantra
Devanagari script
धर्मो योनिर्मनुष्याणां देवानाममृतं दिवि । प्रेत्यभावे सुखं धर्माच्छश्वत्तैरुपभुज्यते,धर्म ही मनुष्योंकी योनि है। वही स्वर्गमें देवताओंका अमृत है। धर्मात्मा मनुष्य मरनेके पश्चात् धर्मके ही बलसे सदा सुख भोगते हैं
Transliteration
dharmo yonir manuṣyāṇāṁ devānām amṛtaṁ divi | pretyabhāve sukhaṁ dharmāc chaśvattair upabhujyate ||
Translation
Bhīṣma sprach: Dharma ist der Schoß und die Quelle, aus der menschliches Leben Gestalt gewinnt; und im Himmel ist es der Nektar der Unsterblichkeit der Götter. Nach dem Tod genießen die Rechtschaffenen fortwährend Wohlergehen, getragen von der Kraft des Dharma selbst.
