अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
तस्मिन्मन्वन्तरे चैव मन्वादिगणपूर्वक: । त्वमेव भविता वत्स मत्प्रसादान्न संशय:
tasmin manvantare caiva manvādigaṇapūrvakaḥ | tvam eva bhavitā vatsa matprasādān na saṁśayaḥ ||
வைசம்பாயனர் கூறினார்—அந்த மன்வந்தரத்திலும் மனு முதலிய குழுக்களின் முன்னணியில், அன்புக் குழந்தையே! என் அருளால் நீயே முதன்மையாய் நிலைபெறுவாய்; இதில் ஐயமில்லை।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that rightful status and leadership within cosmic and moral order are ultimately grounded in merit affirmed by spiritual authority and grace; assurance (na saṁśayaḥ) underscores the certainty of ordained responsibility.
Vaiśampāyana reports a pronouncement that, in a future Manvantara, the addressed person will stand foremost among the assemblies associated with Manu, attaining that position through the speaker’s favor and blessing.
