trikoṇātsāṃtyadhādharmāyuḥ sukhakhodyapaḥ suhṛt | jīvo jīvajñau sitajñau vyarkā vyārāḥ kramādamī || 25 ||

Translation

De la triade (groupement triangulaire) naissent, par degrés: la quiétude; le fondement du dharma; la longévité; la félicité; l’effort juste qui élève; et le bienveillant (l’ami véritable). Puis viennent: l’être vivant, le connaisseur des êtres vivants, et le connaisseur du principe lumineux et pur—telles sont ces étapes, dans l’ordre.

FAQs

It presents a stepwise inner progression: from a threefold foundation one gains tranquillity and dharma-support, which mature into longevity and happiness, culminating in deeper self-knowledge—moving from the jīva to the knower of the jīva and purity-consciousness.

Though expressed as a graded inner map, the sequence aligns with bhakti-sādhana: purification brings peace and dharmic steadiness; sustained right effort yields well-being; and mature devotion ripens into insight into the self (jīva) and the higher knowing principle—supporting steadfast Vishnu-bhakti in Narada Purana teachings.

The verse is primarily Moksha-dharma/yogic psychology rather than a direct Vedāṅga rule; practically, it emphasizes disciplined udyama (right effort) and sattva-based purification—principles that also guide correct ritual conduct (kalpa) and ethical observance (dharma-śāstra) in Narada Purana rituals.
