Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
किं पुनर्त्रह्मिणा: पार्थ क्षत्रिया वा बहुश्ुता: । स्वधर्मरतयो नित्य॑ ब्रह्मलोकपरायणा:
kiṁ punar brāhmaṇāḥ pārtha kṣatriyā vā bahuśrutāḥ | svadharmaratayo nityaṁ brahmalokaparāyaṇāḥ ||
Wika ni Vāyu: “Kung gayon, ano pa ang dapat sabihin, O Pārtha, tungkol sa mga Brāhmaṇa at Kṣatriya na maraming napakinggang banal na aral—yaong nalulugod sa sariling itinakdang tungkulin at laging nakatuon sa mga paraang humahantong sa Brahmaloka? Para sa kanila, lalong tiyak ang mataas na layon.”

Educational Q&A
The verse praises steadfastness in one’s own dharma and sustained orientation toward the highest goal (Brahmaloka). It argues by emphasis: if spiritual progress is possible in general, then it is even more so for those who are learned, disciplined, and devoted to their prescribed duties.
Vāyudeva addresses Arjuna (Pārtha) and underscores the spiritual efficacy of dharma-based living. He highlights exemplary Brāhmaṇas and Kṣatriyas—learned and committed to their roles—as especially fit for attaining Brahmaloka.
