Dissolution ofthe Universe - Verse 48-50
Vayu Purana (G. V. Tagare English translation) · 101 · Verse 48-50
Sanskrit Original
Dharma and Adharma, penance, perfect knowledge, the auspicious, the inauspicious, truth, falsehood, superiority, inferiority, happiness, sorrow, likes, dislikes—all these are mere attributes of one who has gone* (i.e. who has attained salvation). *Prapatlcastham in Bd. P. v. 26 'current in the worldly existence* is logically a better reading. 882 Vayu Purina Whatever is meritorious and sinful, auspicious and inauspicious is regarded as the nature of Gunas of the (spiritually) wise who are devoid of (attachment to) sense organs—all merits and demerits are stabilised in Prakrti. It is the Prakrti which is the source of origin. ( Merit and demerit) are deposited in the nature of embodied beings.
