On the Principle of Keśava: Cosmogony and Divine Epithets
अथ स्वर्गस्तथा रूपी ब्राह्मणं वाक्यमब्रवीत् । संसिद्धस्त्वं महाभाग त्वं च सिद्धस्तथा नूप
atha svargas tathā rūpī brāhmaṇaṁ vākyam abravīt | saṁsiddhas tvaṁ mahābhāga tvaṁ ca siddhas tathā nṛpa ||
Kemudian Svarga, setelah mengambil rupa yang kelihatan, berkata kepada brahmana itu: “Wahai yang berbahagia, engkau telah mencapai kesempurnaan pencapaian.” Sesudah itu baginda berkata pula kepada raja: “Wahai tuan manusia, engkau juga telah mencapai kesempurnaan.”

Educational Q&A
That true accomplishment (siddhi) is measured by the faithful fulfillment of one’s dharma: the brāhmaṇa through disciplined virtue and the king through righteous rule. Heaven’s equal affirmation highlights ethical universality—different life-roles can converge in the same spiritual fruition when rightly performed.
Svarga (Heaven) becomes manifest in a visible form and speaks first to a brāhmaṇa, declaring him fully accomplished, and then addresses the king, declaring him accomplished as well. The scene functions as a divine certification of their attained merit and right conduct.
