अव्यक्त-प्रबोधः (Awakening to the Unmanifest): The 25th and 26th Principles and Eligibility for Brahma-vidyā
यथा यथा हि सद्वृत्तमालम्बन्तीतरे जना: । तथा तथा सुख प्राप्य प्रेत्य चेह च मोदते,इतर जातीय मनुष्य भी जैसे-जैसे सदाचारका आश्रय लेते हैं, वैसे-ही-वैसे सुख पाकर इहलोक और परलोकमें भी आनन्द भोगते हैं
yathā yathā hi sadvṛttam ālambantī tare janāḥ | tathā tathā sukhaṃ prāpya pretya ceha ca modate ||
波罗舍罗说道:“人们依止善行到何等程度,便获得何等程度的安乐;得此安乐之后,他们既在此世欢喜,亦于身后彼世欢喜。”
पराशर उवाच
Happiness is proportional to one’s commitment to sadvṛtta (virtuous conduct): the more one relies on ethical living, the more one enjoys well-being both in this life and in the afterlife.
In Śānti Parva’s didactic setting, the sage Parāśara is instructing his listener(s) on the fruits of dharma, emphasizing that moral discipline yields joy in both worldly and post-mortem states.
