Shloka 12
जपयोगयोः तुल्यफलनिर्णयः
Adhyāya 193: Adjudication of the Comparable Fruits of Japa and Yoga
कृतस्य तु फल तत्र प्रत्यक्षमुपल भ्यते । पानासनाशनोपेता: प्रासादभवनाश्रया:
kṛtasya tu phalaṃ tatra pratyakṣam upalabhyate | pānāsanāśanopetāḥ prāsādabhavanāśrayāḥ |
婆罗陀婆阇说道：“在那境界里，所作之业的果报可直接现见。有的众生居于高广楼阁，坐于华美座榻，享用上妙饮食。诸愿圆满，身佩金饰，富乐昭然；而另一些仅得维持性命之食，更有一些以苦行与艰辛精进，方能保全其息。故彼世界被称为胜过此世。”
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes karma-phala: in the other world the consequences of actions become directly visible, producing unequal conditions—luxury for some, mere subsistence or austere struggle for others—according to their deeds.
Bharadvāja is describing the nature of a higher realm where the results of past conduct are experienced plainly, illustrating a moral order in which one’s lived circumstances correspond to prior actions.
