देवतापितृप्रश्नः — Nārada at Badarīāśrama: the ultimate referent of daiva and pitṛ worship
यथेह यत् कृत॑ शुभं विपाप्मभि: कृतात्मभि: । तदाप्रुवन्ति मानवास्तथा विशुद्धयोनय:,निष्पाप पुण्यात्मा पुरुषोंद्वारा इस लोकमें जो शुभ कर्म सम्पादित होता है, जन्मान्तरमें विशुद्ध योनिमें जन्म लेकर उसका वैसा ही फल पाते हैं
yatheha yat kṛtaṁ śubhaṁ vipāpmabhiḥ kṛtātmabhiḥ | tad āpnuvanti mānavās tathā viśuddha-yonayaḥ ||
व्यास म्हणाले—जसे या लोकात निष्पाप, कृतात्मे पुरुष शुभ कर्म करतात, तसेच मनुष्य त्याचे तदनुरूप फळ प्राप्त करतात—पुनर्जन्मी शुद्ध योनीत जन्म घेऊन आणि निर्मळ, उच्च स्थितीला पोहोचून।
व्यास उवाच
Auspicious actions performed by the sinless and self-disciplined bear corresponding fruits, including elevated and purified rebirth; moral quality of action determines the quality of future experience.
In the didactic discourse of the Śānti Parva, Vyāsa states a general principle of karmic fruition: good deeds done in this life lead to appropriate rewards, often expressed as birth in a purified womb and the attainment of the deed’s fruit in a subsequent life.
