अध्याय ३३७ — ज्ञानमार्ग-वैविध्यप्रश्नः तथा व्यासस्य नारायणोद्भवकथा
Systems of Knowledge and Vyāsa’s Nārāyaṇa-Origin
स राजा राजशार्दूल सत्यधर्मपरायण: । अन्तर्भूमिगतश्वैव सततं धर्मवत्सल:
sa rājā rājaśārdūla satyadharmaparāyaṇaḥ | antarbhūmīgataś caiva satataṃ dharmavatsalaḥ ||
那位国王——诸王之虎——全然归依真实与法(dharma),恒常爱护正道。即便沉入地底,他仍不离于法,并以虔敬之行持续礼拜。蒙神恩加被,他复又升起;离开尘世,抵达梵天界(Brahmaloka),证得至上归宿——此乃赐予坚贞者的不费力之殊胜命运。
देव उवाच
Steadfast commitment to truth and dharma—sustained even under extreme adversity—becomes a direct cause of spiritual elevation; unwavering righteousness and devotion culminate in the highest destiny.
A supremely righteous king, described as devoted to truth and dharma, enters a subterranean state yet remains constant in his dharmic orientation and worship; by divine favor he rises again and ultimately attains Brahmaloka and the supreme goal.
