Shloka 128
Adhyāya 199: Karma–Jñāna Causality and the Nirguṇa Brahman
Manu’s Instruction
एवमेषा महाराज जापकस्य गतिर्यथा । एतत् ते सर्वमाख्यातं कि भूय: श्रोतुमिच्छसि,महाराज! इस प्रकार यह जापककी गति बतायी गयी है। यह सारा प्रसंग मैंने कह सुनाया। अब तुम और क्या सुनना चाहते हो?
evam eṣā mahārāja jāpakasya gatir yathā | etat te sarvam ākhyātaṃ kiṃ bhūyaḥ śrotum icchasi mahārāja ||
„So, o großer König, habe ich dir, wie es ist, den Weg und den Endzustand erklärt, den ein Übender des Japa erreicht. Ich habe dir den ganzen Bericht dargelegt; nun, o König, was willst du noch hören?“
विरूप उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes completeness and clarity in spiritual instruction: the speaker has fully described the ‘gati’ (destiny/attainment) of a japa-practitioner, implying that disciplined inner practice leads to a definite spiritual outcome, and invites the listener to inquire further if needed.
Virūpa concludes a prior explanation addressed to a king, summarizing that he has finished describing the fate or spiritual course of a jāpaka, and then asks the king what additional topic he wishes to hear next.
