Gautama–Śakra Saṃvāda: Karma, Loka-bheda, and the Restoration of the Elephant

नद्देष्यो न प्रिय: कश्रिन्न बन्धुर्न रिपुस्तथा । न जरामरणे तत्र न पुण्यं न च पातकम्‌

na dveṣyo na priyaḥ kaścin na bandhur na ripus tathā | na jarāmaraṇe tatra na puṇyaṃ na ca pātakam ||

ဂေါတမ မဟာမုနိက မိန့်တော်မူသည်— «အဲဒီလောက၌ မုန်းတီးရမည့်သူ မရှိ၊ အထူးချစ်ခင်ရမည့်သူလည်း မရှိ။ ဆွေမျိုးမရှိ၊ ရန်သူမရှိ။ ထိုအရပ်၌ အိုမင်းခြင်းမရှိ၊ သေခြင်းမရှိ၊ ကုသိုလ်မရှိ၊ အကုသိုလ်လည်း မရှိ» ဟု။

Educational Q&A

The verse describes a transcendent realm where dualities (hate/affection, friend/enemy) and the ordinary karmic ledger (merit/sin) no longer operate, pointing toward liberation beyond worldly conditioning.

Gautama is characterizing an exalted state/realm (understood in context as Brahmaloka or a liberation-oriented condition) by negating the features of embodied life—aging, death, and relational oppositions—thereby elevating the listener’s aim from worldly concerns to spiritual release.
