स्वजादन्यकृताच्चैव सर्वपापात् प्रमुच्यते । इस प्रकार सम्पूर्ण देवताओंमें जो चार वर्ण हैं
bhīṣma uvāca | svajād anyakṛtāc caiva sarvapāpāt pramucyate | iti prakāreṇa samasta-devatāsu ye catvāro varṇāḥ, teṣāṃ varṇanaṃ kṛtam | yaḥ prātaḥ utthāya etā devatāḥ kīrtayati, sa svayaṃ kṛtāt tathā anyasaṃsargaprāptāt samasta-pāpasamūhāt mucyate |
Wika ni Bhishma: “Ang tao ay napapalaya sa bawat kasalanan—maging yaong bunga ng sariling gawa, at yaong natamo dahil sa pakikisalamuha at pagkakadikit sa mga gawa ng iba. Sa gayon, nailarawan na ang apat na ‘uri’ na binabanggit sa hanay ng mga diyos. Sinumang bumangon sa umaga at bigkasin ang papuri sa mga diyos na ito ay magiging malaya sa buong naipong kasalanan, maging sariling gawa man o nakuha sa pakikihalubilo sa iba.”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Regular morning remembrance and praise of the described deities is presented as a purifying discipline that frees a person from sins arising from one’s own actions and from moral taint acquired through association with others.
Bhishma concludes a prior description of a fourfold classification among deities and states the fruit (phala) of reciting their praise at dawn: release from the accumulated burden of sin, including that gained through contact with others.
