Shloka 10
इन्द्र–बलि संवादः
The Dialogue of Indra and Bali on Fortune, Humility, and Restraint
ततस्तमुपसर्पन्ति गुणा राजसतामसा: । सात्त्विका वा यथायोगमानन्तर्यफलोदयम्,उस स्वप्नरका दर्शन होते ही सात्विक, राजस अथवा तामस गुण यथायोग्य सुख- दुःखरूप फलका अनुभव करानेके लिये उसके पास आ पहुँचते हैं
tatastam upasarpanti guṇā rājasatāmasāḥ | sāttvikā vā yathāyogam ānantarya-phalodayam ||
Bhishma bersabda: Sesudah itu, guṇa—sattva, rajas dan tamas—mendekati orang itu menurut kesesuaiannya, lalu menimbulkan serta-merta hasil yang sepadan, dialami sebagai kebahagiaan atau penderitaan (seperti penglihatan yang menyerupai mimpi atau neraka).
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Experience (pleasure or pain) arises according to the predominance of sattva, rajas, or tamas; these guṇas ‘come near’ and yield their fitting results without delay, emphasizing moral causality and inner disposition.
Bhīṣma explains to the listener that once a certain state is reached (contextually linked with visions like dream/hellish experiences), the guṇas become operative and produce corresponding सुख-दुःख (happiness-suffering) outcomes in line with one’s condition.
