Brahma-vidyā: Satya–Tapas and the Enumeration of Tattvas
Arjuna–Vāsudeva framed dialogue
एतेषां पृथगध्यास्ते यो धर्म संशितव्रत: । कालात् पश्यति भूतानां सदैव प्रभवाप्ययौ,जो मनुष्य उत्तम व्रतका आश्रय लेकर उपर्युक्त धर्मोमेंसे किसीका भी दृढ़तापूर्वक पालन करते हैं, वे कालक्रमसे सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंक जन्म और मरणको सदा ही प्रत्यक्ष देखते हैं
eteṣāṃ pṛthag adhyāste yo dharmaḥ saṃśitavrataḥ | kālāt paśyati bhūtānāṃ sadaiva prabhavāpyayau ||
Wika ni Vāyu: “Sa mga ito, sinumang may matalas at matatag na panata, pumili ng alinmang disiplina ng dharma at mahigpit na manindigan dito—sa paglipas ng panahon, siya’y darating sa tuwirang at walang patid na pagtanaw sa paglitaw at paglaho—kapanganakan at kamatayan—ng lahat ng nilalang.”

Educational Q&A
Steadfast adherence to a chosen dharmic discipline (vrata) matures into clear insight: over time one perceives the universal law of impermanence—the continual birth and death of beings—thus grounding ethics in a sober awareness of Kāla (Time).
Vāyudeva is explaining the fruit of practicing the previously described dharmas: a resolute practitioner who firmly follows any one of them gains, with time, direct perception of the ongoing cycle of origination and dissolution affecting all creatures.
