दिव्यं चक्षुस्तदा तस्य चासीद्देवान्स पश्यति । त्रैलोक्यस्य च वार्त्तां च जानाति लीलया भृशम्
divyaṃ cakṣustadā tasya cāsīddevānsa paśyati | trailokyasya ca vārttāṃ ca jānāti līlayā bhṛśam
ಆಗ ಅವನಿಗೆ ದಿವ್ಯ ದೃಷ್ಟಿ ದೊರಕಿತು; ಅವನು ದೇವರನ್ನು ಕಾಣಲಾರಂಭಿಸಿದ. ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ತ್ರಿಲೋಕದ ಸಮಸ್ತ ವಾರ್ತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಲೀಲೆಯಂತೆ, ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ತಿಳಿದನು.

Application: Cultivate sattva through truthful living, mantra-japa, and restraint; when the mind is clear, patterns in life become visible ‘effortlessly’—act with humility rather than pride in insight.
