sa cen mānuṣatāṁ yāti medhāvī tatra jāyate | śrutaṁ prajñānugaṁ yasya kalyāṇam upajāyate ||

Translation

Si un tel homme revient du ciel et renaît parmi les humains, il naît doté d’une intelligence pénétrante. Chez lui, ce qui est appris des Écritures suit l’élan de son discernement; ainsi, l’auspice et le bien-être ne cessent de s’élever pour lui.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

A person formed by righteous conduct carries its fruits beyond a single life: if reborn as a human after enjoying heaven, he is naturally intelligent, and his scriptural learning becomes effective because it aligns with discernment; thus, lasting welfare (kalyāṇa) follows.

What is happening in the narrative?

Śrī Maheśvara describes the posthumous trajectory of a virtuous practitioner: after attaining heaven, if he returns to human birth, he is born as a medhāvī, and his learning and wisdom cooperate, producing continual auspicious outcomes.
