Shloka 45
अव्यक्तकालमान-निर्णयः
Measures of Time from the Unmanifest; Creation, Elements, and the Primacy of Mind
भीष्म उवाच (इत्युक्त्वा परमो देवो भगवान् नित्य अव्यय: । साथ्यर्देवगणै: सार्थ दिवमेवारुरोह सः ।।
bhīṣma uvāca | ity uktvā paramo devo bhagavān nityo 'vyayaḥ | sādhya-devagaṇaiḥ sārthaṃ divam evārurōha saḥ || etad yaśasyam āyuṣyaṃ puṇyaṃ svargāya ca dhruvam | darśitaṃ devadevena parameṇāvyayena ca || saṃvāda ity ayaṃ śreṣṭhaḥ sādhyanāṃ parikīrtitaḥ | kṣetraṃ vai karmaṇāṃ yoniḥ sadbhāvaḥ satyam ucyate ||
毗湿摩说道：“说罢此言，那至上之神——吉祥、常住、不坏的梵天（Brahmā）——与萨陀耶（Sādhya）诸天众同升天界。此一清净圣教，为那最高、无朽的诸神之主所开示，能增长名闻与寿命，亦是得生天界之确实方便。于是，优提施提罗啊，我已向你叙述天鹅（Haṃsa）与萨陀耶诸天之间那卓绝的对话。诚然，此身乃诸业之田地与胎藏；所谓‘真实’，即内在真诚之存在（正直的内心趋向）。”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse concludes a didactic dialogue by affirming that the body is the locus where karma is generated and borne, and that ‘truth’ is identified with sadbhāva—genuine being or right inner disposition. It also frames the teaching as merit-producing, fame- and life-enhancing, and a reliable means toward heaven.
Bhīṣma reports that after delivering the instruction, Brahmā—described as eternal and imperishable—departs upward to heaven along with the Sādhya deities. Bhīṣma then tells Yudhiṣṭhira that he has finished recounting the excellent Haṃsa–Sādhya dialogue and summarizes its concluding doctrinal point about body, action, and truth.
