Shloka 128
Adhyāya 199: Karma–Jñāna Causality and the Nirguṇa Brahman
Manu’s Instruction
एवमेषा महाराज जापकस्य गतिर्यथा । एतत् ते सर्वमाख्यातं कि भूय: श्रोतुमिच्छसि,महाराज! इस प्रकार यह जापककी गति बतायी गयी है। यह सारा प्रसंग मैंने कह सुनाया। अब तुम और क्या सुनना चाहते हो?
evam eṣā mahārāja jāpakasya gatir yathā | etat te sarvam ākhyātaṃ kiṃ bhūyaḥ śrotum icchasi mahārāja ||
“Vậy đó, hỡi Đại vương, ta đã giảng rõ con đường và cảnh giới rốt ráo mà người hành trì japa đạt đến, đúng như vậy. Ta đã thuật hết mọi điều; nay, thưa Đại vương, ngài còn muốn nghe gì nữa?”
विरूप उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes completeness and clarity in spiritual instruction: the speaker has fully described the ‘gati’ (destiny/attainment) of a japa-practitioner, implying that disciplined inner practice leads to a definite spiritual outcome, and invites the listener to inquire further if needed.
Virūpa concludes a prior explanation addressed to a king, summarizing that he has finished describing the fate or spiritual course of a jāpaka, and then asks the king what additional topic he wishes to hear next.
