अध्याय १६ — शङ्कर-उमा-वरदानम् तथा तण्डि-स्तुतिः (Śaṅkara–Umā Boon-Granting and Taṇḍi’s Hymn)
एवं ब्रुवन्नेव तदा ददर्श तपसां निधिम् । तमव्ययमनौपम्यमचिन्त्यं शाश्वतं ध्रुवम्,इतना कहते ही तण्डिने उन तपोनिधि, अविकारी, अनुपम, अचिन्त्य, शाश्वत, ध्रुव, निष्कल, सकल, निर्गुण एवं सगुण ब्रह्मका दर्शन प्राप्त किया, जो योगियोंके परमानन्द, अविनाशी एवं मोक्षस्वरूप हैं
evaṁ bruvann eva tadā dadarśa tapasāṁ nidhim | tam avyayam anaupamyam acintyaṁ śāśvataṁ dhruvam |
As he was still speaking, he beheld the very treasury of austerity. He saw that Brahman—imperishable, incomparable, inconceivable, eternal, and steadfast—who is the supreme bliss of yogins, the indestructible reality, and the very form of liberation. The passage underscores that disciplined tapas and truthful utterance culminate not merely in merit, but in direct vision of the highest, which transcends yet can also be approached through yogic realization.
