Nārāyaṇopadeśa to Mārkaṇḍeya (Cosmic Self-Identification and Yuga Doctrine) | नारायणोपदेशः
सरस्वत्युवाच यो ब्रह्म जानाति यथाप्रदेशं॑ स्वाध्यायनित्य: शुचिरप्रमत्त: | स वै पारं देवलोकस्य गन्ता सहामरे: प्राप्तुयात् प्रीतियोगम्,सरस्वती बोली--मुने! जो प्रमाद छोड़कर पवित्र भावसे नित्य स्वाध्याय करता है और अर्चि आदि मार्गोंसे प्राप्त होनेयोग्य सगुण ब्रह्मको जान लेता है, वह देवलोकसे उठकर ब्रह्मलोकमें जाता है और देवताओंके साथ प्रेमसम्बन्ध स्थापित कर लेता है
sarasvaty uvāca | yo brahma jānāti yathāpradeśaṃ svādhyāya-nityaḥ śucir apramattaḥ | sa vai pāraṃ devalokasya gantā sahāmaraḥ prāpnuyāt prīti-yogam ||
萨拉斯瓦蒂说道:“牟尼啊,若有人远离怠惰,身心清净,恒常自修诵习(svādhyāya),并依其道路与资质如实了知梵(Brahman)——此人便超越诸天之境,渡至彼岸,抵达梵天界(Brahma-loka)。在那里,与诸天同处,他进入和谐而充满爱敬的相应之境。”
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Steady svādhyāya, inner and outer purity, and freedom from pramāda (spiritual negligence) mature into true knowledge of Brahman; this knowledge is presented as leading beyond ordinary heavenly reward (Deva-loka) toward the higher goal of Brahma-loka and a state of prīti-yoga—harmonious communion grounded in realized truth.
Within Mārkaṇḍeya’s discourse, Sarasvatī is quoted as describing the fruit of disciplined sacred study and right realization: the practitioner transcends the gods’ realm and attains Brahma-loka, entering a blessed association with the immortals characterized by prīti (loving concord).
