इन्द्र–बलि संवादः
The Dialogue of Indra and Bali on Fortune, Humility, and Restraint
ततस्तमुपसर्पन्ति गुणा राजसतामसा: । सात्त्विका वा यथायोगमानन्तर्यफलोदयम्,उस स्वप्नरका दर्शन होते ही सात्विक, राजस अथवा तामस गुण यथायोग्य सुख- दुःखरूप फलका अनुभव करानेके लिये उसके पास आ पहुँचते हैं
tatastam upasarpanti guṇā rājasatāmasāḥ | sāttvikā vā yathāyogam ānantarya-phalodayam ||
Bhishma dit : Ensuite, les guṇa—sattva, rajas et tamas—s’approchent de cet homme selon sa disposition, faisant aussitôt surgir leurs fruits correspondants, éprouvés comme bonheur ou souffrance (tels des tableaux de rêve ou d’enfer).
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Experience (pleasure or pain) arises according to the predominance of sattva, rajas, or tamas; these guṇas ‘come near’ and yield their fitting results without delay, emphasizing moral causality and inner disposition.
Bhīṣma explains to the listener that once a certain state is reached (contextually linked with visions like dream/hellish experiences), the guṇas become operative and produce corresponding सुख-दुःख (happiness-suffering) outcomes in line with one’s condition.
