Yayāti Episode: Indra’s Anxiety, the Messenger Motif, and a Discourse on Time (Kāla) and Karma
सर्वंसाध्यं सुलोकं मे सुप्रसादाज्जगत्पते । स्वर्गं देवि यतो नैमि तत्र मे कारणं शृणु
sarvaṃsādhyaṃ sulokaṃ me suprasādājjagatpate | svargaṃ devi yato naimi tatra me kāraṇaṃ śṛṇu
హే జగత్పతే, నీ మహాప్రసాదంతో నాకు అన్నీ సాధ్యమయ్యాయి, నా గతి శుభలోకం అయింది. హే దేవీ, నేను స్వర్గానికి వెళ్తున్నాను; దానికి కారణం నన్ను విను.
Unspecified (context-dependent dialogue within Bhūmi-khaṇḍa; likely a devotee/character addressing a deity-pair)
Concept: Divine prasāda makes the seemingly unattainable attainable; one’s ‘good realm’ is framed as a result of grace rather than mere self-effort.
Application: Cultivate gratitude and humility: attribute successes to grace, and articulate clearly the ethical/spiritual reasons behind major life choices.

FAQs
“Jagatpati” means “Lord of the world,” a reverential epithet commonly used for the supreme divine ruler; the exact identification (e.g., Viṣṇu/Īśvara) depends on the surrounding passage.
It attributes spiritual success and a favorable post-death destination (svarga) to divine grace (suprasāda), and frames the next lines as an explanation of the cause behind that attainment.
The verse foregrounds grace and favor (a bhakti-inflected theme), while also implying there is a “cause” to be explained, which often connects to meritorious action, vows, or devotion in the broader narrative.
