On the Principle of Keśava: Cosmogony and Divine Epithets
ब्रह्मोवाच महास्मृतिं पठेद् यस्तु तथैवानुस्मृतिं शुभाम् । तावप्येतेन विधिना गच्छेतां मत्सलोकताम्
brahmovāca mahāsmṛtiṃ paṭhed yas tu tathaivānusmṛtiṃ śubhām | tāv apy etena vidhinā gacchetāṃ matsalokatām ||
Wika ni Brahmā: “Sinumang bumibigkas ng Mahāsmṛti, at gayundin ng mapalad na Anusmṛti, sa mismong ganitong disiplina ay makakamit ang paninirahan sa aking daigdig. Sa tapat na pag-alaala at sa itinakdang pagsasagawa, natatamo ang bunga ng paglapit sa banal na kaharian.”

Educational Q&A
Disciplined recitation and sustained sacred remembrance (smṛti/anusmṛti), performed according to prescribed method, are presented as efficacious means to attain salokya—dwelling in Brahmā’s realm—emphasizing devotion expressed through practice and memory.
Within Bhīṣma’s discourse (framed as Brahmā’s speech), Brahmā declares the spiritual fruit of reciting specific remembrance-texts/practices: the practitioner attains Brahmā’s world by the same observance, underscoring the authority of revealed instruction and the promised posthumous destination.
