Shloka 77
देवतापितृप्रश्नः — Nārada at Badarīāśrama: the ultimate referent of daiva and pitṛ worship
अथेमं दर्शनोपायं सम्यग् यो वेत्ति मानव: । सम्यक् स्वधर्म कृत्वेह परत्र सुखमश्लुते
athemaṃ darśanopāyaṃ samyag yo vetti mānavaḥ | samyak svadharma kṛtveha paratra sukham aśnute ||
Disse Vyāsa: Aquele que conhece verdadeiramente este meio correto para a visão (realização) do Ser supremo e que, neste mundo, cumpre retamente o seu próprio dever, desfruta da felicidade no além.
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
Right knowledge of the method leading to direct realization, combined with proper performance of one’s own duty (svadharma) in this life, leads to well-being in the hereafter; the verse links inner realization with ethical conduct.
Vyāsa is concluding or reinforcing an instruction: he states the फल (result) of knowing the correct means to realization—namely, that a person who understands it and lives by svadharma gains happiness after death.
