धर्मस्य बहुद्वारत्वम् — Nārada’s Audience with Indra (Śānti-parva 340)

毗湿摩说：那作为一切众生之“心”的原理，依传统诵读并理解为“普拉丢姆那”（Pradyumna）。在此教义中，普拉丢姆那象征宇宙之心，万类终将归融消散于其中；若行者使自身行为——如禅修与礼拜——与那至上本源相应，便被说能在现世即证得如“善那特库玛罗”（Sanatkumāra）般的解脱境界。

Educational Q&A
The verse identifies Pradyumna with the universal mind (manaḥ) that pervades all beings; ethically, it points to inner discipline—especially meditation and worship—as a means to align the individual mind with its cosmic source and move toward liberation.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma is explaining a theological-philosophical mapping of divine principles; here he states that Pradyumna is the name used for the mind of all beings, framing a contemplative doctrine rather than an external event.
