Suparṇa–Gālava संवाद
नै#तानां सहस््राणि बहुन्यत्र द्विजर्षभ । सृष्टानि प्रतिकूलानि द्रष्टव्यान्यकृतात्मभि:
naitānāṁ sahasrāṇi bahūny atra dvijarṣabha | sṛṣṭāni pratikūlāni draṣṭavyāny akṛtātmabhiḥ ||
ਹੇ ਦ੍ਵਿਜਰਿਸ਼ਭ! ਇੱਥੇ ਵੈਰੀ ਸੁਭਾਉ ਅਤੇ ਉਲਟ ਆਚਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਅਣਗਿਣਤ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਜੀਵ ਰਚੇ ਗਏ ਹਨ। ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਕੇਵਲ ਅਸ਼ੁੱਧ ਅੰਤਰਕਰਨ ਅਤੇ ਅਸੰਯਤ ਆਤਮਾ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਹੀ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ।
युपर्ण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Perception is ethically conditioned: hostile and disturbing manifestations are said to be encountered by those whose inner self is unpurified and undisciplined (akṛtātman), implying the need for self-cultivation and inner purity.
Yūparṇa addresses a Brahmin, stating that innumerable adverse beings have been created in that region/direction and that such beings are seen only by people of impure or unrefined inner nature.
