Yayāti and Mātali on the Order of Divine Worlds, the Merit of Śiva’s Name, and the Unity of Śiva and Viṣṇu
सुसंपूर्णं जगद्वेषं पशुपाशाविमोक्षणम् । यो यत्स्थानमनुप्राप्तस्तस्य भोगस्तदात्मकः
susaṃpūrṇaṃ jagadveṣaṃ paśupāśāvimokṣaṇam | yo yatsthānamanuprāptastasya bhogastadātmakaḥ
(Giáo pháp) này trình bày trọn vẹn những điều ghét bỏ của thế gian và sự giải thoát khỏi dây trói trói buộc chúng sinh như loài gia súc. Ai đạt đến cảnh giới nào, thì sự thọ hưởng (lạc hay khổ) theo sau cũng đồng một bản chất với cảnh giới ấy.

Concept: Bondage and release are explained through the nature of one’s attained state; experience (bhoga) conforms to the quality of the state one reaches—implying moral/mental causality and the necessity of liberation from binding tendencies.
Application: Choose environments and habits that elevate the ‘state’ you cultivate: satsanga, nama-japa, restraint of senses, and vrata discipline—because the mind’s quality becomes the texture of lived experience.

FAQs
It refers to binding fetters—metaphorically the bonds of ignorance and karma that keep the individual soul (paśu, the ‘bound being’) constrained.
It states that one’s ‘bhoga’—the lived experience of pleasure or pain—corresponds in nature to the state or condition one has attained, implying a karmic congruence between cause (state attained) and effect (experience).
Since experience mirrors the state one reaches, the verse encourages cultivating right conduct, inner discipline, and liberating knowledge to avoid binding states and move toward freedom (vimokṣa).
