The Manifestation of Viṣṇu’s Footprints: Vāmana–Trivikrama, Bāṣkali’s Subjugation, and the Rise of Viṣṇupadī
Gaṅgā
नृत्यंति वै स्वर्गगताश्च ते तु धर्मार्जितं स्वर्गमितो व्रजंति । इति विगतविषादे निर्मले जीवलोके तिमिरनिकरमुक्ता निर्वृतिं प्राप्तुकामाः
nṛtyaṃti vai svargagatāśca te tu dharmārjitaṃ svargamito vrajaṃti | iti vigataviṣāde nirmale jīvaloke timiranikaramuktā nirvṛtiṃ prāptukāmāḥ
یقیناً جو لوگ سُوَرگ کو پہنچے ہیں وہ وہاں مسرور ہوتے ہیں، اور یہاں سے دھرم کے ذریعے کمائے ہوئے سُوَرگ کی طرف جاتے ہیں۔ یوں جیو لوک کے پاکیزہ عالم میں—غم سے آزاد—تاریکی کے انباروں سے رہائی پا کر وہ نروان جیسی آخری سکون کی تمنا رکھتے ہیں۔
Unclear from the isolated verse (context needed to identify the dialogue pair).
Concept: Dharma yields svarga, but the purified heart ultimately seeks nirvṛti—lasting peace beyond cyclical destinations; sorrowlessness arises when inner darkness is removed.
Application: Do dharma without fixation on reward; use life’s ‘bright intervals’ to deepen practice (japa, seva, vrata) aimed at inner freedom, not status.
