रुद्रादित्यवसूनां च तथान्येषां दिवौकसाम् | एते वै निरयास्तात स्थानस्य परमात्मन:
rudrādityavasūnāṁ ca tathānyeṣāṁ divaukasām | ete vai nirayās tāta sthānasya paramātmanaḥ ||
ພີດສະມະໄດ້ກ່າວວ່າ: «ລູກເອີຍ, ແມ່ນກະທັ້ງແດນສະຫວັນຂອງຣຸດຣະ, ອາທິດຕະຍະ, ວະສຸ ແລະຜູ້ຢູ່ໃນສະຫວັນອື່ນໆ ເມື່ອທຽບກັບບ່ອນສູງສຸດຂອງພຣະອາດຕະມັນ ກໍບໍ່ດີກວ່ານະຣົກ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ຄວາມເຫນືອກວ່າອັນຫາຂອບເຂດບໍ່ໄດ້ຂອງສະຖານສູງສຸດນັ້ນ ຈຶ່ງເຫນືອກວ່າຄວາມສຸກທິບທັງປວງ.»

Even the highest heavenly attainments—realms of major gods and divine classes—are insignificant when set beside the Supreme Self’s ultimate abode. The verse urges a shift from seeking celestial pleasure to seeking the highest liberation-oriented goal.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on the highest aims of life. Here he emphasizes the transcendence of the परमात्मन्’s supreme station, using a stark comparison: all divine worlds appear like ‘hell’ when contrasted with that unsurpassed state.
