Shloka 32
सत्य–अनृत, प्रकाश–तमस्, स्वर्ग–नरक विवेचनम्
Truth and Untruth as Light and Darkness; Svarga and Naraka as Ethical Consequences
अदृश्याय त्वगम्याय कः प्रमाणमुदाहरेत् । सिद्धानां देवतानां च यदा परिमिता गति:
adṛśyāya tv-agamyāya kaḥ pramāṇam udāharet | siddhānāṃ devatānāṃ ca yadā parimitā gatiḥ ||
Bharadvāja disse: “Para Aquilo que é invisível e está além do alcance dos sentidos, quem poderia citar qualquer medida ou prova definitiva? Até o alcance do conhecimento dos Siddhas e dos deuses é limitado; como, então, poderia ser declarada a ‘medida’ do Ser Supremo?”
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
That the Supreme Reality (beyond sight and sensory reach) cannot be quantified or proven by ordinary measures of knowledge; even exalted beings like Siddhas and gods possess only limited cognitive range.
In a philosophical exchange within the Śānti Parva, Bharadvāja challenges attempts to define or measure the transcendent Self, arguing that finite knowers cannot set a ‘measure’ for what is intrinsically beyond sensory and conceptual grasp.
