प्राप्त: सुविपुलो धर्म: श्रुत्वा पापविनाशनम् | विमुक्तो हृदयग्रन्थिरुदारजनदर्शनात्
prāptaḥ suvipulo dharmaḥ śrutvā pāpavināśanam | vimukto hṛdayagranthir udārajanadarśanāt ||
اس گناہ مٹانے والے بیان کو سن کر تم نے عظیم اور وسیع دھرم حاصل کیا۔ فراخ دل نیک لوگوں کے دیدار سے تمہارے دل کی گرہ کھل گئی—اندر کا سارا شک و تردد دور ہو گیا۔

Educational Q&A
Hearing a morally purifying, sin-destroying teaching and associating with noble persons (udāra-jana) loosens the 'knot of the heart'—deep doubt, inner blockage, and confusion—leading to a fuller grasp and attainment of dharma.
Āstīka addresses the listener, affirming that by hearing the purifying account and by encountering high-souled, generous-hearted people, the listener has gained expansive dharma and has been freed from inner doubt (the hṛdaya-granthi).
