Shloka 35
अव्यक्तकालमान-निर्णयः
Measures of Time from the Unmanifest; Creation, Elements, and the Primacy of Mind
अदुष्ट॑ वर्तमाने तु हृदयान्तरपूरुषे । तेनैव देवा: प्रीयन्ते सतां मार्गस्थितेन वै
aduṣṭa-vartamāne tu hṛdayāntara-pūruṣe | tenaiva devāḥ prīyante satāṁ mārga-sthitena vai ||
جب دل کی غار میں بسنے والا باطنی پُرش (انتر یامی) عیب اور کینہ سے پاک ہو کر قائم رہتا ہے، تو جو اسے حقیقتاً پہچان لیتا ہے وہ نیکوں کے راستے پر ثابت قدم سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ اسی باطنی پاکیزگی اور درست استقامت سے دیوتا خوش ہوتے ہیں۔

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that true righteousness is grounded in inner purity: when the indwelling Self in the heart is approached without दोष (fault, malice, corrupt intent), the seeker becomes established on the path of the good, and this very state of purity and right-standing pleases the gods.
Haṃsa is instructing about the inner spiritual criterion of a 'good path': not merely external acts, but the faultless, purified orientation toward the inner Self (the heart-dwelling Puruṣa). The statement links inner realization and ethical steadiness with divine approval.
