Shloka 32
सत्य–अनृत, प्रकाश–तमस्, स्वर्ग–नरक विवेचनम्
Truth and Untruth as Light and Darkness; Svarga and Naraka as Ethical Consequences
अदृश्याय त्वगम्याय कः प्रमाणमुदाहरेत् । सिद्धानां देवतानां च यदा परिमिता गति:
adṛśyāya tv-agamyāya kaḥ pramāṇam udāharet | siddhānāṃ devatānāṃ ca yadā parimitā gatiḥ ||
ಅದೃಶ್ಯವಾಗಿಯೂ ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಗ್ರಾಹ್ಯವಾಗಿಯೂ ಇರುವ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಯಾರು ಪ್ರಮಾಣವನ್ನು ಉಚ್ಛರಿಸಬಲ್ಲರು? ಸಿದ್ಧರಿಗೂ ದೇವತೆಗಳಿಗೂ ಜ್ಞಾನಗತಿ ಪರಿಮಿತವಾಗಿರುವಾಗ, ಪರಮಾತ್ಮನ ಪ್ರಮಾಣವನ್ನು ಹೇಗೆ ಹೇಳುವುದು?
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
That the Supreme Reality (beyond sight and sensory reach) cannot be quantified or proven by ordinary measures of knowledge; even exalted beings like Siddhas and gods possess only limited cognitive range.
In a philosophical exchange within the Śānti Parva, Bharadvāja challenges attempts to define or measure the transcendent Self, arguing that finite knowers cannot set a ‘measure’ for what is intrinsically beyond sensory and conceptual grasp.
