इन्द्र–बलि संवादः
The Dialogue of Indra and Bali on Fortune, Humility, and Restraint
ततस्तमुपसर्पन्ति गुणा राजसतामसा: । सात्त्विका वा यथायोगमानन्तर्यफलोदयम्,उस स्वप्नरका दर्शन होते ही सात्विक, राजस अथवा तामस गुण यथायोग्य सुख- दुःखरूप फलका अनुभव करानेके लिये उसके पास आ पहुँचते हैं
tatastam upasarpanti guṇā rājasatāmasāḥ | sāttvikā vā yathāyogam ānantarya-phalodayam ||
毗湿摩说道:继而,三德——清净(sattva)、激动(rajas)、昏暗(tamas)——依其性向而趋近此人,使相应之果当下生起,被体验为乐或苦(如梦幻之相,或如地狱之景)。
भीष्म उवाच
Experience (pleasure or pain) arises according to the predominance of sattva, rajas, or tamas; these guṇas ‘come near’ and yield their fitting results without delay, emphasizing moral causality and inner disposition.
Bhīṣma explains to the listener that once a certain state is reached (contextually linked with visions like dream/hellish experiences), the guṇas become operative and produce corresponding सुख-दुःख (happiness-suffering) outcomes in line with one’s condition.
