within the Mātā–Pitṛ Tīrtha Narrative
विशालोवाच । भवंतं पुण्यसंवृद्धं जाने राजञ्जगत्त्रये । पूर्वोक्ता ये गुणाः सर्वे मयोक्ताः संति ते त्वयि
viśālovāca | bhavaṃtaṃ puṇyasaṃvṛddhaṃ jāne rājañjagattraye | pūrvoktā ye guṇāḥ sarve mayoktāḥ saṃti te tvayi
Viśāla dijo: Oh rey, sé que estás grandemente enriquecido por el mérito en los tres mundos. Todas las virtudes que antes proclamé están ciertamente en ti.
Viśāla
Concept: Puṇya (merit) is recognizable through consistent virtues; true praise is confirmation of lived qualities, not mere flattery.
Application: Seek integrity: let your actions quietly accumulate merit so that your character ‘answers’ any description of virtue.

FAQs
The speaker is Viśāla, addressing a king (rājan).
It is a traditional Purāṇic expression for the entire cosmos—commonly the three realms—used to emphasize the king’s widely recognized merit and reputation.
It praises the ideal of integrated virtue: qualities discussed as moral ideals should be embodied in conduct, so that merit (puṇya) and character (guṇa) become evident to others.
