Adhyāya 262: Śabda-brahman, Para-brahman, and the Ethics of Tyāga
Kapila–Syūmaraśmi Saṃvāda
स्वयं यूपानुपादाय यजन्ते स्वाप्तदक्षिणै: । यस्तथा भावितात्मा स्यात् स गामालब्धुमहति
svayaṁ yūpān upādāya yajante svāptadakṣiṇaiḥ | yas tathā bhāvitātmā syāt sa gām ālabdhum arhati ||
ଯୋଗସିଦ୍ଧ ପୁରୁଷମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଯଜ୍ଞୟୂପ ନିଜେ ନିଜେ ଆସି ପହଞ୍ଚେ; ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରି ସେମାନେ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟାପ୍ତ ଦକ୍ଷିଣାସହିତ ଯଜ୍ଞ କରନ୍ତି। ଋତ୍ୱିଜମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଦକ୍ଷିଣା ମଧ୍ୟ ସ୍ୱତଃ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୁଏ। ଯାହାର ଅନ୍ତଃକରଣ ଏପରି ଶୁଦ୍ଧ ଓ ସିଦ୍ଧ ହୋଇଛି, ସେଇ ‘ପୃଥିବୀକୁ ଲାଭ’ କରିବାର ଯୋଗ୍ୟ।
चुलाधार उवाच
True worthiness for worldly authority or prosperity arises from inner purification and yogic perfection; when one is perfected, the means for righteous action (ritual supports and due fees) come without coercion, reflecting non-grasping and ethical integrity.
Chūlādhāra describes the state of a spiritually accomplished person: ritual necessities like the yūpa and the proper dakṣiṇā are said to present themselves naturally, and he concludes that only such a purified person is fit to ‘obtain the earth’—i.e., to hold rightful dominion or secure stable welfare.
