तत्सुखं कीदृशं तस्माद्विपाकश्च भविष्यति । एतन्मे संशयं तात सांप्रतं छेत्तुमर्हसि
tatsukhaṃ kīdṛśaṃ tasmādvipākaśca bhaviṣyati | etanme saṃśayaṃ tāta sāṃprataṃ chettumarhasi
ସେ ସୁଖ କେମିତି, ଏବଂ ତାହାରୁ କେଉଁ ବିପାକ (ଫଳ) ହେବ? ହେ ପ୍ରିୟ, ଏବେ ମୋର ଏହି ସନ୍ଦେହ ଛେଦ କରିବାକୁ ଆପଣ ଯୋଗ୍ୟ।

FAQs
The speaker asks about the nature of a particular happiness and what karmic fruition (vipāka) will arise from it, requesting clarification.
'Vipāka' commonly means the ripened outcome of actions—how deeds mature into experienced results, pleasant or painful, across time.
It implies that pleasure should be evaluated alongside its consequences; discerning the long-term results of actions is part of ethical and spiritual inquiry.
