Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
नच्छुत्वा नैछिकीं बुद्धि बुद्धयेथा: कर्मनिश्चयम् । तारारूपाणि सर्वाणि यत्रैतच्चन्द्रमण्डलम्
na cchrutvā naicikīṁ buddhiṁ buddhyethāḥ karma-niścayam | tārā-rūpāṇi sarvāṇi yatraitat candra-maṇḍalam ||
悉达者说道：“若汝听闻此法，便能对业行之途与其果报生起坚固的辨知，并得更高的（naicikī）智慧。应当知晓：群星可见之境、月轮辉耀之处、以及日轮以自光照彻世间之域——皆为积善修福之人的居处。正直之人往生彼界，受用其德行之果。”
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
That attentive hearing of spiritual instruction yields clear certainty about karma and its results, and leads to a higher discernment (naicikī buddhi). The verse links ethical conduct (puṇya-karma) with corresponding luminous heavenly abodes where the fruits of merit are experienced.
A Siddha addresses the listener (disciple/interlocutor) and points to cosmic regions—stars, moon, and (by context) the sun—as symbolic and literal realms attained by the meritorious, explaining the destination and enjoyment of the results of virtuous deeds.
