गोप्रदान-माहात्म्ये गोलोक-प्रश्नः

Gopradāna-Māhātmya: Inquiry into Goloka

तस्यापि च यम: सर्वमुपदेशं चकार ह । प्रेत्यैत्य च ततः सर्व चकारोक्तं यमेन तत्‌,उसके लिये भी यमराजने सारा उपदेश किया। परलोकमें जाकर जब वह लौटा, तब उसने भी यमराजके बताये अनुसार सब कार्य किया

tasyāpi ca yamaḥ sarvam upadeśaṃ cakāra ha | pretyaitya ca tataḥ sarvaṃ cakāroktaṃ yamena tat ||

Bhishma said: Even to him, Yama imparted the entire instruction. Having gone to the other world and then returned, he carried out everything exactly as Yama had prescribed—showing that true guidance, once received, must be translated into disciplined action.

Educational Q&A

That dharmic instruction—especially from an authority like Yama—must be followed in practice; knowledge becomes meaningful only when it shapes conduct.

Bhishma narrates that Yama gave complete counsel to a certain person; after experiencing the other world and returning, that person acted in full accordance with Yama’s directions.
