Shloka 58
Pratyakṣa–Āgama–Ācāra: Doubt, Proof, and the Practice of Dharma (प्रत्यक्ष–आगम–आचारविचारः)
सच्त्वस्थ: सर्वमुत्सृज्य दीक्षितो नियत: शुचि: । वीराध्वानं प्रपद्येद् यस्तस्य लोका: सनातना:
sattvasthaḥ sarvam utsṛjya dīkṣito niyataḥ śuciḥ | vīrādhvānaṁ prapadyed yas tasya lokāḥ sanātanāḥ ||
Mahādeva nói: “Ai an trú trong sattva, từ bỏ mọi sự, thọ nhận kỷ luật của dīkṣā, tự chế và thanh tịnh, và nương theo ‘con đường anh hùng’—người ấy sẽ đạt được các cõi vĩnh hằng.”

Educational Q&A
True spiritual attainment is linked to inner quality and conduct: abiding in sattva, renouncing attachments, living under vow-bound discipline, maintaining self-restraint and purity, and courageously committing to a demanding righteous path leads to enduring (sanātana) spiritual realms.
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing the listener about the fruit of a rigorous ascetic-vowed life: the person who abandons worldly ties and follows a disciplined, pure, courageous path is said to attain eternal worlds.
