Maheshvara dit : «Ô Devī, celui qui est cher à tous les ordres sociaux, toujours appliqué au bien de tous les êtres ; qui ne nourrit aucune haine ; dont le visage est agréable ; dont la nature est douce ; et qui parle toujours d’une voix chaleureuse et affectueuse—celui-là, par ces qualités d’humilité, de bonté et d’absence d’hostilité, devient digne d’honneur dans le monde et atteint des sphères propices, puis renaît plus tard dans des familles distinguées.»

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches that universal goodwill, absence of hatred, gentleness, and affectionate truthful speech are central marks of dharmic character; such conduct makes one worthy of respect and yields auspicious spiritual results.

In Anuśāsana Parva, Mahēśvara addresses Devī, listing virtues that define an exemplary person; the surrounding passage (as reflected in the provided Hindi) expands these traits into social duties like honoring elders, guests, teachers, and avoiding harm, and links them to heavenly reward and noble rebirth.
