मुद्गल उवाच । स्वर्गस्य ये गुणा दूत ये च दोषा प्रकीर्तिताः । तान्मे वद करिष्येऽहं श्रुत्वा वै यत्क्षमं भवेत्
mudgala uvāca | svargasya ye guṇā dūta ye ca doṣā prakīrtitāḥ | tānme vada kariṣye'haṃ śrutvā vai yatkṣamaṃ bhavet
ムドガラは言った。「おお使者よ、天界の功徳と、語り伝えられる過失とを私に告げよ。聞き終えたなら、まことに相応しいことを私は行おう。」
Mudgala
Tirtha: Mudgala-āśrama (Māmuhrada vicinity)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Deva-dūta (messenger of Indra)
Scene: Mudgala, serene and incisive, questions the divine messenger: ‘Tell me svarga’s virtues and its faults’; the messenger stands respectfully, the vimāna waiting, while the hermitage remains tranquil.
Even promised rewards should be examined with discernment; dharma includes knowing the limitations of svarga and choosing the highest good.
Indirectly the Arbuda sacred narrative frame is maintained; this verse mainly teaches discernment rather than naming a specific tīrtha act.
No; it is an ethical-spiritual inquiry (about guṇa and doṣa) guiding right choice.
