Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
ऋषिभि: क्रतव:ः प्रोक्ता देवेष्विह यथाक्रमम् | फलं चैव यथातथ्यं प्रेत्य चेह च सर्वश:,ऋषियोंने देवताओंके उद्देश्यसे यथायोग्य यज्ञ बताये हैं और उन यज्ञोंका यथावत् फल भी बताया है, जो इहलोक और परलोकमें भी सर्वथा प्राप्त होता है
ṛṣibhiḥ kratavaḥ proktā deveṣv iha yathākramam | phalaṃ caiva yathātathyaṃ pretya ceha ca sarvaśaḥ ||
グーラースティヤは言った。「聖仙たちは、神々に向けて捧げる祭式(ヤジュニャ yajña)を、しかるべき順序に従って説き示した。またその祭式の真実の果報をも宣言した—この世においても、死後の彼岸においても、ことごとく確実に得られる果である。」
घुलस्त्य उवाच
That the sages have authoritatively taught sacrificial duties in a proper order and have also clarified their real outcomes: actions (yajñas/ritual duties) yield definite fruits both in this life and after death, underscoring moral causality (karma-phala) and the reliability of dharmic instruction.
The speaker, Ghūlastya, is explaining the traditional Vedic framework: sages prescribe sacrifices aimed at the gods and specify the corresponding rewards, emphasizing that these results accrue comprehensively in both worldly and post-mortem contexts.
