Shloka 29
सूक्ष्मभूत-भूतात्मविज्ञानम्
Knowing the subtle principle and the bhūtātman through yoga
देवं त्रिधातु त्रिवृतं सुपर्ण ये विद्युरग्रयां परमात्मतां च । ते सर्वलोकेषु महीयमाना देवा: समर्त्या: सुकृतं वदन्ति
vyāsa uvāca | devaṃ tridhātuṃ trivṛtaṃ suparṇa ye vidyur agrayāṃ paramātmatāṃ ca | te sarvalokeṣu mahīyamānā devāḥ samartyāḥ sukṛtaṃ vadanti ||
Vyāsa dit : Ceux qui connaissent en vérité le Seigneur demeurant au-dedans—désigné par le son triple (A-U-M), présent comme souverain intérieur au sein des trois qualités, et dont l’activité cosmique s’étend comme les belles feuilles d’un grand arbre—et qui connaissent aussi sa condition suprême comme le Soi le plus haut, sont honorés dans tous les mondes. Même les dieux, avec les mortels, proclament le mérite de leur conduite droite.
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
True knowledge of the indwelling Supreme (Paramātman)—recognized through the symbol of Oṃ and understood as the controller of the three guṇas—naturally expresses itself as virtuous conduct (sukṛta). Such knowers gain honor across worlds, and their merit is acknowledged even by gods and humans.
Vyāsa is describing the spiritual stature of those who realize the Supreme Self. He links metaphysical insight (Oṃ, the threefold principle, the Lord as inner ruler) with social and cosmic recognition: their righteous life is praised universally.
