यस्तु स्थितः सदाऽध्यात्मे नित्यं सद्भावभावितः । ब्राह्मणो हि महद्भूतं जन्मना सह जायते
yastu sthitaḥ sadā'dhyātme nityaṃ sadbhāvabhāvitaḥ | brāhmaṇo hi mahadbhūtaṃ janmanā saha jāyate
لیکن جو ہمیشہ باطن کے آتما میں قائم رہے اور نیک سیرت سے ہر دم سنورا ہو—وہ برہمن تو پیدائش ہی کے ساتھ عظمت کے ساتھ پیدا ہوتا ہے۔

FAQs

Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the setting; the verse frames inner purity as part of the kṣetra’s dharmic greatness.
A spiritual discipline is implied: abiding in adhyātma and maintaining sadbhāva.
