The Dialogue between Rukmāṅgada and Dharmāṅgada
आनंदं ब्रह्मणो रूपं शतानंदः सुतेन यः । पिता भवति चार्वंगि सत्कर्मकरणैः शुभैः ॥ ४७ ॥
ānaṃdaṃ brahmaṇo rūpaṃ śatānaṃdaḥ sutena yaḥ | pitā bhavati cārvaṃgi satkarmakaraṇaiḥ śubhaiḥ || 47 ||
આનંદ જ બ્રહ્મનું સ્વરૂપ છે. હે સુસુંદર અંગવાળી, જે શતાનંદ નામના પુત્રનો પિતા બને છે, તે શુભ સત્કર્મોના આચરણથી જ બને છે.

FAQs
It links metaphysics and ethics: Brahman’s nature is bliss (ānanda), and living in alignment with dharma through sat-karmas is presented as a cause of auspicious outcomes and a bliss-oriented life.
While not explicitly naming Vishnu, it supports a core bhakti ethic: pure, auspicious conduct (śubha satkarma) is a foundation that stabilizes devotion and makes one fit for higher realization of Brahman-as-bliss.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana or Jyotisha) is taught directly; the practical takeaway is karmic discipline—performing satkarmas (ritual-ethical duties) as prescribed by dharma-shastra traditions.
