Yayāti’s Vaiṣṇava Rule and the Earth Made Like Vaikuṇṭha
with Viṣṇu Name-Invocation
शोकं नैव प्रपश्यंति दोषं नैव प्रयांति ते । यद्रूपं स्वर्गलोकस्य तद्रूपं भूतलस्य च
śokaṃ naiva prapaśyaṃti doṣaṃ naiva prayāṃti te | yadrūpaṃ svargalokasya tadrūpaṃ bhūtalasya ca
وہ ہرگز غم نہیں دیکھتے اور نہ ہی عیب میں پڑتے ہیں؛ کیونکہ جو صورت آسمانی لوک کی ہے، وہی صورت زمین کے بھوتل پر بھی ہے۔
Unspecified (context-dependent within Bhūmi-khaṇḍa narration)
Concept: When sorrow (śoka) and moral fault (doṣa) are absent, the world reflects svarga; inner purity externalizes as a transformed lived reality.
Application: Reduce śoka by cultivating remembrance and surrender; reduce doṣa by ethical vigilance—truth, non-harm, restraint—so one’s immediate 'earth' (daily life) becomes svarga-like.
