Chapter 82
विभो! वहाँ आदित्य, वसु, रुद्र, साध्य, मरुद्गण, गन्धर्व और अप्सराओंकी भी नित्य संनिधि रहती है ।। यत्र देवास्तपस्तप्त्वा दैत्या ब्रह्मर्षपस्तथा । दिव्ययोगा महाराज पुण्येन महतान्विता:,महाराज! वहाँ तप करके देवता, दैत्य और ब्रह्मर्षि महान् पुण्यसे सम्पन्न दिव्य योगसे युक्त होते हैं
vibho! tatra āditya-vasu-rudra-sādhya-marudgaṇa-gandharvāpsarāṇām api nityaṃ sannidhir bhavati. yatra devās tapaḥ taptvā daityā brahmarṣayas tathā; divya-yogā mahārāja puṇyena mahatānvitāḥ.
O makapangyarihan! Doon, ang mga Āditya, Vasu, Rudra, Sādhya, ang mga pangkat ng Marut, pati ang mga Gandharva at Apsaras ay laging naroroon. Sa lugar na iyon, O Mahārāja, ang mga diyos, ang mga Daitya, at ang mga Brahmarishi, matapos magsagawa ng tapas (mahigpit na pagninilay at pagpipigil), ay napupuspos ng dakilang kabutihang-loob at nakakamit ang banal na disiplina ng yoga.

Educational Q&A
Spiritual power and divine realization arise from tapas (disciplined austerity) and puṇya (ethical merit). The verse underscores that even opposing groups—devas and daityas—can attain divine yoga through sustained ascetic practice, highlighting effort and purity over mere identity.
The speaker describes a sacred locale characterized by the constant presence of many celestial classes. He explains that this is a place where gods, daityas, and great seers perform austerities and thereby become endowed with great merit and attain divine yogic excellence.
