Shloka 10
अध्याय ३२३ — श्वेतद्वीपगमनम्, यज्ञभाग-विवादः, एकान्तिभक्त्या नारायणदर्शन-नियमः (Śvetadvīpa Journey; Dispute over Sacrificial Share; Rule of Nārāyaṇa-vision through Single-minded Devotion)
अन्न ते वर्तयिष्यामि जन्मयोगफलं तथा । शुकस्याग्रयां गतिं चैव दुर्विदामकृतात्मभि:
anna te vartayiṣyāmi janmayogaphalaṃ tathā | śukasyāgrayāṃ gatiṃ caiva durvidām akṛtātmabhiḥ ||
Bhishma sprach: „O König, ich werde dir den Bericht von Śukas Geburt darlegen, die Frucht, die er durch sein Yoga erlangte, und auch sein höchstes Ziel—eines, das für Menschen, die sich selbst nicht bezwungen haben, schwer zu begreifen ist.“

Educational Q&A
True spiritual attainment (the ‘supreme gati’) is grasped through self-mastery and yogic discipline; those lacking inner control (akṛtātmānaḥ) find such states difficult to understand.
Bhīṣma, instructing the king, announces that he will narrate Śuka’s birth account, the results of his yoga, and the exalted destination he attained—setting up a didactic story about renunciation and realization.
