Adhyāya 6: Pañca-mahābhūta–guṇa-nirdeśa and Sudarśana-dvīpa
Five Elements, Sensory Qualities, and a Cosmographic Island
तेषामृद्धिर्बहुविधा दृश्यते दैवमानुषी । अशक्या परिसंख्यातु श्रद्धेया तु बुभूषता,उनकी अनेक प्रकारकी दैवी और मानुषी समृद्धि देखी जाती है। उसकी गणना असम्भव है। कल्याणकी इच्छा रखनेवाले मनुष्यको उस समृद्धिपर विश्वास करना चाहिये
teṣām ṛddhir bahuvidhā dṛśyate daivamānuṣī | aśakyā parisaṅkhyātuṁ śraddheyā tu bubhūṣatā ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: “Sa gitna nila, masisilayan ang kasaganaan na sari-sari—kapwa maka-diyos at maka-tao. Hindi ito ganap na mabibilang. Gayunman, ang naghahangad ng tunay na kapakanan ay nararapat maglagak ng pananampalataya sa kasaganang iyon (at sa nakatataas na kaayusang nagkakaloob nito).”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that prosperity and success arise in manifold forms through both divine factors and human means, and that their full measure is beyond calculation; therefore, one who seeks genuine welfare should cultivate śraddhā—trust in the moral-cosmic order and in the possibility of auspicious outcomes aligned with dharma.
Sañjaya, narrating events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, comments on the remarkable, varied prosperity or powers seen among the concerned parties; he emphasizes that these manifestations are too numerous to enumerate and urges a stance of trust for those aiming at well-being.
