Shloka 21
Adhyāya 199: Karma–Jñāna Causality and the Nirguṇa Brahman
Manu’s Instruction
जिता लोकास्त्वया सर्वे ये दिव्या ये च मानुषा: । देवानां निलयान् साधो सर्वनुत्क्रम्य यास्यसि
jitā lokās tvayā sarve ye divyā ye ca mānuṣāḥ | devānāṁ nilayān sādho sarvān utkrāmya yāsyasi ||
达摩说道：“一切世界——无论天界还是人间——都已被你征服。善人啊，超越诸天神的居处，你也将越过他们而更上。”
धर्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
True excellence is measured not merely by reaching heavenly rewards but by surpassing even the highest divine stations through steadfast virtue; Dharma affirms that ethical perfection can lead beyond ordinary celestial attainments.
Dharma addresses a virtuous person and declares that, through their merit, they have ‘won’ access to all human and celestial realms and will even pass beyond the gods’ abodes—an honorific proclamation of extraordinary spiritual destination.
