अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
भूतभव्यभविष्याणां छिन्नसर्वार्थसंशय: । ये हृतिक्रान्तका: पूर्व सहस्रयुगपर्यया:,“भूत, वर्तमान और भविष्यके सभी विषयोंमें तुम्हारा संशय नष्ट हो जायगा। पहले जो सहस्न-युगोंके कल्प व्यतीत हो चुके हैं, उन सबको मेरी आज्ञासे तुम देख सकोगे और तपोबलसे सम्पन्न बने रहोगे। भविष्यमें होनेवाले अनेक कल्प भी तुम्हें दृष्टिगोचर होंगे
bhūtabhavyabhaviṣyāṇāṁ chinnasarvārthasaṁśayaḥ | ye hṛtikrāntakāḥ pūrva sahasrayugaparyayāḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana said: “Your doubt regarding all matters—past, present, and future—will be completely cut away. Those former revolutions of time, spanning thousands of yugas, that have already passed, you will be able to behold by my command; and, endowed with the power of austerity, you will also perceive many cycles of creation that are yet to come.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
True knowledge dispels doubt across time: when insight (often linked with tapas and divine authorization) arises, uncertainty about past, present, and future is ‘cut off,’ revealing the patterned, cyclical nature of cosmic time.
Vaiśampāyana reports a boon or assurance being given: the listener’s doubts will be removed, and they will gain a visionary capacity to behold vast yuga-cycles—both those already elapsed and those yet to unfold—through command/permission and ascetic power.
