Adhyaya 23 — Ashvatara’s Vow for Madalasa and the Bestowal of Musical Science by Sarasvati
जीवितं गुणिनः श्लाघ्यं जीवान्नेव मृतोऽगुणः ।
गुणवान् निर्वृतिं पित्रोः शत्रूणां हृदयज्वरम् ॥
jīvitaṃ guṇinaḥ ślāghyaṃ jīvanneva mṛto 'guṇaḥ | guṇavān nirvṛtiṃ pitroḥ śatrūṇāṃ hṛdaya-jvaram ||
نیک لوگوں کی زندگی قابلِ ستائش ہے؛ بدکار جیتے جی بھی مردہ کے برابر ہے۔ بافضیلت مرد والدین کو مسرت دیتا ہے اور دشمنوں کے دلوں میں تپش پیدا کرتا ہے۔

Guṇa (character) is the measure of being truly alive; virtue produces social trust and familial happiness, while also functioning as moral strength that unsettles wrongdoing.
Dharma-oriented aphoristic teaching within narrative; not a cosmological or manvantara enumeration.
‘Enemies’ may denote inner vāsanās; virtue generates inner ‘heat’ for impurities, making them restless until they subside.
