The Prelude to Questioning Bhīṣma on the Bed of Arrows
यश्नैतेन प्रमाणेन योक्ष्यत्यात्मानमात्मना । स फल सर्वपुण्यानां प्रेत्य चानुभविष्यति
yad etena pramāṇena yokṣyaty ātmānam ātmanā | sa phalaṃ sarvapuṇyānāṃ pretya cānubhaviṣyati ||
风神伐由说道：凡以此教诲为权威准则，凭自身内在之力调伏并驾驭其心者——其人身后必得尽诸功德之果，宛如汇集了一切正法善行。
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
To accept the given instruction as a trustworthy standard (pramāṇa) and, through one’s own effort, bring the self under disciplined control; such inner mastery is said to yield the comprehensive reward of merit.
Vāyudeva is speaking and concludes with a promise of फल (phala): anyone who embodies the teaching in lived practice—‘yoking the self by the self’—will, after death, experience the fruits of all kinds of पुण्य (puṇya).
