Shloka 21
Adhyāya 199: Karma–Jñāna Causality and the Nirguṇa Brahman
Manu’s Instruction
जिता लोकास्त्वया सर्वे ये दिव्या ये च मानुषा: । देवानां निलयान् साधो सर्वनुत्क्रम्य यास्यसि,तुमने दिव्य और मानुष सभी लोकोंपर विजय प्राप्त की है। साधो! तुम सम्पूर्ण देवताओंके लोकोंको लाँधकर उनसे भी ऊपर जाओगे
jitā lokās tvayā sarve ye divyā ye ca mānuṣāḥ | devānāṁ nilayān sādho sarvān utkrāmya yāsyasi ||
ダルマは言った。「天界も人界も、あらゆる世界は汝によって征服された。善き人よ、すべての神々の住処を超えて、汝は彼らをも越えて行くであろう。」
धर्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
True excellence is measured not merely by reaching heavenly rewards but by surpassing even the highest divine stations through steadfast virtue; Dharma affirms that ethical perfection can lead beyond ordinary celestial attainments.
Dharma addresses a virtuous person and declares that, through their merit, they have ‘won’ access to all human and celestial realms and will even pass beyond the gods’ abodes—an honorific proclamation of extraordinary spiritual destination.
