सूक्ष्मभूत-भूतात्मविज्ञानम्
Knowing the subtle principle and the bhūtātman through yoga
देवं त्रिधातु त्रिवृतं सुपर्ण ये विद्युरग्रयां परमात्मतां च । ते सर्वलोकेषु महीयमाना देवा: समर्त्या: सुकृतं वदन्ति,जो सम्पूर्ण जगत्में अपने चिन्मयस्वरूपसे प्रकाशित होता है, तीन धातु (वर्ण-अकार, उकार, मकार) अर्थात् प्रणव जिसका वाचक है, जो सत्त्व आदि तीनों गुणोंमें--त्रिगुणमयी मायामें उसके नियन्तारूपसे विद्यमान है तथा जिसके जगत्-सम्बन्धी व्यापार वृक्षके सुन्दर पत्तोंक समान विस्तारको प्राप्त हुए हैं, उस अन्तर्यामी पुरुषको तथा उसकी उत्तम परब्रह्मस्वरूपताको जो जानते हैं, वे सम्पूर्ण लोकोंमें सम्मानित होते हैं और मनुष्योंसहित सम्पूर्ण देवता उनके शुभकर्मकी प्रशंसा करते हैं
vyāsa uvāca | devaṃ tridhātuṃ trivṛtaṃ suparṇa ye vidyur agrayāṃ paramātmatāṃ ca | te sarvalokeṣu mahīyamānā devāḥ samartyāḥ sukṛtaṃ vadanti ||
Vyāsa said: Those who truly know the indwelling Lord—signified by the threefold sound (A-U-M), present as the inner ruler amid the three qualities, and whose cosmic activity spreads like the fair leaves of a great tree—and who also know His supreme status as the highest Self, become honored in all worlds. Even the gods, together with mortals, proclaim the merit of their righteous conduct.
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
True knowledge of the indwelling Supreme (Paramātman)—recognized through the symbol of Oṃ and understood as the controller of the three guṇas—naturally expresses itself as virtuous conduct (sukṛta). Such knowers gain honor across worlds, and their merit is acknowledged even by gods and humans.
Vyāsa is describing the spiritual stature of those who realize the Supreme Self. He links metaphysical insight (Oṃ, the threefold principle, the Lord as inner ruler) with social and cosmic recognition: their righteous life is praised universally.
