Adhyāya 262: Śabda-brahman, Para-brahman, and the Ethics of Tyāga
Kapila–Syūmaraśmi Saṃvāda
स्वयं यूपानुपादाय यजन्ते स्वाप्तदक्षिणै: । यस्तथा भावितात्मा स्यात् स गामालब्धुमहति
svayaṁ yūpān upādāya yajante svāptadakṣiṇaiḥ | yas tathā bhāvitātmā syāt sa gām ālabdhum arhati ||
Bagi orang yang sempurna dalam yoga, tiang kurban (yūpa) muncul dengan sendirinya; dengan mengambilnya mereka melaksanakan yajña yang disertai daksina yang melimpah. Bahkan honor bagi para ṛtvij pun datang tanpa upaya. Hanya dia yang batinnya demikian disucikan dan disempurnakanlah yang layak ‘memperoleh bumi’.

Educational Q&A
True worthiness for worldly authority or prosperity arises from inner purification and yogic perfection; when one is perfected, the means for righteous action (ritual supports and due fees) come without coercion, reflecting non-grasping and ethical integrity.
Chūlādhāra describes the state of a spiritually accomplished person: ritual necessities like the yūpa and the proper dakṣiṇā are said to present themselves naturally, and he concludes that only such a purified person is fit to ‘obtain the earth’—i.e., to hold rightful dominion or secure stable welfare.
