उवाच देवता: सर्वा: पितंश्चैव महाद्युति: । श्रुतं हि चित्रगुप्तस्य धर्मगुहूं महात्मन:
uvāca devatāḥ sarvāḥ pitṝṁś caiva mahādyutiḥ | śrutaṁ hi citraguptasya dharmaguhūṁ mahātmanaḥ ||
Yang bercahaya mulia (Yama) berkata kepada semua dewa dan para Pitṛ: “Sesungguhnya aku telah mendengar ajaran Dharma yang mendalam dan terpelihara rapi daripada Citragupta yang berhati agung.”
यम उवाच
Educational Q&A
That Dharma is a profound, carefully preserved moral law, and even cosmic authorities like Yama acknowledge instruction grounded in accurate moral accounting (associated with Citragupta).
Yama, described as radiant, addresses the assembled gods and ancestral Pitṛs, stating that he has heard a deep, guarded exposition of Dharma attributed to the great-souled Citragupta.
