Adhyātma–Adhibhūta–Adhidaivata Correspondences and the Triguṇa Lakṣaṇas (Śānti-parva 301)
मनो<नु याति क्षेत्रज्ञ कर्मणी च शुभाशुभे । शिष्या इव महात्मानमिन्द्रियाणि च त॑ प्रभो
mano 'nu yāti kṣetrajñaḥ karmaṇī ca śubhāśubhe | śiṣyā iva mahātmānam indriyāṇi ca taṁ prabho bharatanandana dharmātmā rājā yudhiṣṭhira |
毗湿摩言:“主啊,婆罗多族之欢喜——持法的王由提施提罗啊——当‘田知者’(具身之我)继续前行时,心随其后;诸根亦随其后,并携善业与恶业。正如弟子行于大心导师之后,心、诸根与业之余势也同样尾随生我。”
भीष्म उवाच
Bhīṣma teaches that the conscious self (kṣetrajña/jīva) is the principal traveler, and that mind, senses, and the moral momentum of good and evil actions accompany it—implying personal responsibility and continuity of ethical consequences beyond a single moment or life.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs King Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and liberation-oriented philosophy. Here he explains how the inner faculties (mind and senses) and one’s accumulated actions ‘follow’ the embodied self, using the simile of disciples following a teacher.
