Guru’s Instruction on Dream, Mind, Guṇas, and Knowing Brahman
Svapna–Manas–Guṇa–Brahma-vicāra
पद्मनाभो महायोगी महात्मा भूतभावन: । न संतापो न भी: कार्या शोको वा सुरसत्तमा:,सुरश्रेष्टण! ये महायोगी भूतभावन महात्मा पद्मनाभ हैं; अतः तुम्हें अपने मनसे संताप, भय एवं शोकको दूर कर देना चाहिये
padmanābho mahāyogī mahātmā bhūtabhāvanaḥ | na santāpo na bhīḥ kāryā śoko vā surasattama ||
毗湿摩说道:“莲华脐(Padmanābha)——大瑜伽行者、大心者、万有之本源与护持者——正是此事背后的依凭。因此,诸天之最胜者啊,你心中不应容纳忧苦、恐惧或悲恸。”
पितामह उवाच
Recognize the supreme divine agency (Padmanābha, the sustainer of beings) and therefore abandon inner turmoil—do not nurture distress, fear, or grief; steadiness of mind is presented as the proper ethical-spiritual response.
Bhīṣma (Pitāmaha), in his instructive discourse in Śānti Parva, addresses a deity styled ‘best of the gods’ and offers reassurance: since the supreme Lord is the great yogin and source of beings, the listener should set aside anxiety, fear, and sorrow.
