Shloka 22
यः सर्वेषां भवति हार्चनीय उत्सेधनस्तम्भ इवाभिजात: । यस्मै वाचं सुप्रसन्नां वदन्ति स वै देवान् गच्छति संयतात्मा,जो अपने मनको वशमें रखनेवाला विद्वान् पुरुष ऊँचे उठानेवाले खम्भेकी भाँति उच्चकुलमें उत्पन्न हुआ सबके लिये आदरके योग्य हो जाता है तथा जिसके प्रति सब लोग प्रसन्नतापूर्वक मधुर वचन बोलते हैं, वह मनुष्य देवभावको प्राप्त हो जाता है
yaḥ sarveṣāṁ bhavati hārcanīya utsedhana-stambha ivābhijātaḥ | yasmai vācaṁ suprasannāṁ vadanti sa vai devān gacchati saṁyatātmā ||
ଯେ ସଂଯତାତ୍ମା ପୁରୁଷ ଉଚ୍ଚ କରୁଥିବା ସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ପରି ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଆଦରଣୀୟ ହୁଏ, ଏବଂ ଯାହା ପ୍ରତି ଲୋକେ ପ୍ରସନ୍ନ ହୋଇ ମଧୁର ବଚନ କହନ୍ତି—ସେଇ ଆତ୍ମସଂଯମୀ ଦେବଭାବକୁ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୁଏ।

Educational Q&A
A self-restrained person who becomes universally worthy of respect and who elicits gracious, pleasant speech from others through noble conduct attains a divine state; social honor and spiritual ascent are linked to inner discipline and ethical behavior.
Haṁsa presents a moral criterion for spiritual progress: he describes the marks of an exemplary person—honored by all, compared to an elevating pillar, and addressed with kindly words—and states that such a disciplined individual reaches the realm/state of the gods.
