अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
निःसंशयेषु सर्वेषु नित्यं वसति वै हरि: । ससंशयान् हेतुबलान् नाध्यावसति माधव:,ज्ञानके बलसे जिनके संशयका निवारण हो गया है, उन सबके भीतर सदा श्रीहरि निवास करते हैं; परंतु कुतर्कके बलसे जो संशयमें पड़े हुए हैं, उनके भीतर भगवान् माधवका निवास नहीं है
niḥsaṃśayeṣu sarveṣu nityaṃ vasati vai hariḥ | sasaṃśayān hetubalān nādhyāvasati mādhavaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana disse: Em todos aqueles cujas dúvidas foram totalmente dissipadas, Hari habita para sempre no íntimo. Mas Mādhava não permanece naqueles que continuam enredados na dúvida, sustentados apenas pela força da argumentação contenciosa.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The Divine is said to abide in a mind made clear by the removal of doubt through genuine knowledge and discernment; but a mind that clings to doubt through mere contentious reasoning (hetu-bala/kutarka) becomes unfit for that indwelling presence.
Vaiśampāyana continues a didactic passage in Śānti Parva, presenting a moral-spiritual criterion: inner certainty grounded in true understanding is praised, while argumentative skepticism that perpetuates doubt is criticized as a barrier to realizing God within.
