Shloka 35
सूक्ष्मभूत-भूतात्मविज्ञानम्
Knowing the subtle principle and the bhūtātman through yoga
जो ब्रह्मज्ञाममय तेजसे सम्पन्न और पुरातन नित्य-ब्रह्मपरायण है, वह भिक्षु अनन्त एवं निर्भय लोकोंको प्राप्त होता है। जिससे जगतके प्राणी कभी भयभीत नहीं होते, वह भी संसारके प्राणियोंसे कभी भय नहीं पाता है ।।
yo brahmajñānamaya-tejase sampannaḥ purātano nitya-brahmaparāyaṇaḥ sa bhikṣur anantān nirbhayān lokān prāpnoti | yasmāj jagat-prāṇino na kadācana bhayabhītā bhavanti sa api saṃsāra-prāṇibhyo na kadācana bhayaṃ prāpnoti || aghaṇīyo na ca garhate ’nyān sa vai vipraḥ paramātmānam īkṣet | vinīta-mohaḥ vyapanīta-kalmaṣo na ceha nāmutra ca so ’nnam ṛcchati ||
毗耶娑说：那位具足由梵知所生之光辉、精神古雅而恒常归依梵的行乞者，得至无尽无怖之诸世界。凡不令世间众生生怖者，亦不从世间诸有情处遭遇怖畏。自不应责，亦不毁谤他人者——如是婆罗门堪得观见至上之我。迷妄既伏，罪垢既除，便不复执著于此世与彼世之享受。

Educational Q&A
Fearlessness and spiritual realization arise from Brahma-knowledge, harmlessness, and ethical speech: the irreproachable person who does not revile others, whose delusion and impurity are removed, becomes fit to realize the Supreme Self and is not bound by worldly or otherworldly enjoyments.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, Vyāsa describes the marks and fruits of a true renunciant/brahmin: devotion to Brahman, causing no fear to beings, refraining from blame and abuse, and thereby attaining fearless realms and the vision of the Paramātman.
