यस्तु स्थितः सदाऽध्यात्मे नित्यं सद्भावभावितः । ब्राह्मणो हि महद्भूतं जन्मना सह जायते
yastu sthitaḥ sadā'dhyātme nityaṃ sadbhāvabhāvitaḥ | brāhmaṇo hi mahadbhūtaṃ janmanā saha jāyate
แต่ผู้ใดตั้งมั่นอยู่เสมอในอาตมันภายใน และถูกหล่อหลอมด้วยสภาวะอันประเสริฐอยู่เนืองนิตย์—พราหมณ์ผู้นั้นย่อมเกิดมาพร้อมกับความยิ่งใหญ่เอง

FAQs
True stature comes from adhyātma (inner realization) and cultivated goodness, not merely from social identity.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the setting; the verse frames inner purity as part of the kṣetra’s dharmic greatness.
A spiritual discipline is implied: abiding in adhyātma and maintaining sadbhāva.
