Shloka 119
इदं महर्षेर्वचनं विनिश्चितं महात्मन: पुरुषवरस्य कीर्तितम् । समागमं॑ चर्षिदिवौकसामिमं निशम्य भक्ता: सुसुखं लभन्ते
idam maharṣer vacanaṁ viniścitaṁ mahātmanaḥ puruṣavarasya kīrtitam | samāgamaṁ cārṣidivaukasām imaṁ niśamya bhaktāḥ susukhaṁ labhante ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「これは大聖仙—大いなる魂を備え、人中の最勝者—が、確定した結論として宣言した、揺るぎなき言葉である。さらに、仙人たちと神々の会合に関するこの物語を敬虔に聴聞する者は、すぐれた幸福を得る。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
That a definitive, well-ascertained dharmic teaching—especially when received through devoted listening—yields inner happiness and spiritual benefit. The verse highlights śravaṇa as an ethical-spiritual practice: hearing true instruction refines understanding and supports right conduct.
Vaiśampāyana concludes or commends a section by affirming that the sage’s settled teaching has been proclaimed, and that the account of an assembly involving ṛṣis and the gods has been related; those who listen with devotion gain excellent happiness.
