अध्याय १६ — शङ्कर-उमा-वरदानम् तथा तण्डि-स्तुतिः (Śaṅkara–Umā Boon-Granting and Taṇḍi’s Hymn)
कर्मन्यासकृतानां च विरक्तानां ततस्तत: । या गतिर्ब्रह्मयसदने सा गतिस्त्वं सनातन,सनातन देव! कर्म-संन्यासियोंको और विरक्तोंको ब्रह्मलोकमें जो उत्तम गति प्राप्त होती है, वह आप ही हैं
karmanyāsakṛtānāṁ ca viraktānāṁ tatastataḥ | yā gatir brahmayasadane sā gatistvaṁ sanātana sanātana deva ||
ヴァーユは言った。「行為の放棄(カルマ・サンニャーサ)を成し遂げた者、また離欲して執着なき者にとって、梵(ブラフマン)の住処において語られるいかなる最上の到達処も――おお永遠なる者よ、永遠の神よ――その到達処こそ、まさに汝自身である。」
वायुदेव उवाच
The verse identifies the highest spiritual goal promised to renouncers and the detached—often described as reaching Brahman’s abode—not as a mere place, but as the Eternal Divine itself. The ‘goal’ is ultimately communion with, or realization of, the timeless Lord.
Vāyu speaks in praise and theological affirmation, addressing the Eternal God and declaring that the supreme destination attained by action-renouncers and the dispassionate is identical with the deity being addressed.
