Plakṣaprasravaṇa–Kārapacana tīrtha-varṇana and Nārada’s war briefing (Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 53)

Devanagari script

यमस्य विषयं ते तु न द्रक्ष्यन्ति कदाचन । जो मानव शुभकी इच्छा रखकर यहाँ नित्य निवास करेंगे, उन्हें कभी यमका राज्य नहीं देखना पड़ेगा

Transliteration

yamasya viṣayaṃ te tu na drakṣyanti kadācana |

Translation

Rāma said: “Those people will never behold the realm of Yama. Whoever lives here continually with an auspicious intention and a wish for the good will not have to face Yama’s dominion.” The verse underscores an ethical promise: steadfast residence or conduct grounded in wholesome intent is portrayed as a safeguard from the fearful consequences associated with death and judgment.
