कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
श्रीमहेश्वरने कहा--जो श्रेष्ठ मार्गको पानेकी इच्छा रखकर सदा ही ब्राह्मणोंसे उसके विषयमें पूछता है, धर्मका अन्वेषण करता और सद्गुणोंकी अभिलाषा रखता है, वही स्वर्गलोकके सुखका अनुभव करता है ।।
śrīmaheśvara uvāca—yo śreṣṭha-mārgaṃ prāptum icchan sadā brāhmaṇebhyaḥ tasya viṣaye pṛcchati, dharmam anviṣyati, sadguṇānām abhīlāṣaṃ ca dhatte, sa eva svargalokasya sukham anubhavati. yadi mānuṣatāṃ devi kadācit sa nigacchati, medhāvī dhāraṇā-yuktaḥ prāyas tatra abhijāyate.
圣摩诃湿伐罗说道：“凡欲得至高之道者，恒常向婆罗门请问其义，探求达摩，渴慕善德——唯此人得享天界之乐。又，女神啊，若此人有时再得人身，则在那一生中多半生而聪慧，具强记之力与沉稳的领悟。”

Educational Q&A
Persistent inquiry into the highest path from the learned, active pursuit of dharma, and aspiration for virtues lead to heavenly happiness; and even if such a person is reborn as human, they tend to be endowed with intelligence and strong retention/comprehension.
Maheśvara addresses Devī, describing the karmic outcome of a seeker who regularly consults brāhmaṇas about the श्रेष्ठ मार्ग, searches for dharma, and cultivates virtue—resulting in svarga-enjoyment and, if returning to human birth, notable intellectual and cognitive strength.
