Yudhiṣṭhira said: "O Best of Men, a dispute (vivāda) among Time (kāla), Death (mṛtyu), Yama, and a Brahmin (brāhmaṇa) was previously narrated. You ought to speak about that."

Bhīṣma said: "In this regard, they also narrate this ancient history (itihāsa), what happened concerning Ikṣvāku, son of Sūrya, and a certain Brahmin (brāhmaṇa)."

And what happened concerning Time (kāla) and Death (mṛtyu) – listen to that from me, just as that dialogue (saṃvāda) among them occurred, and in what place.

4.
There was a certain Brahmin (brāhmaṇa), a reciter of mantras (jāpaka), whose conduct was righteous (dharmavṛtta), greatly renowned (mahāyaśas), knowledgeable in the six Vedāṅgas (ṣaḍaṅgavit), and very wise (mahāprājña). He was Paippalādi, a descendant of Kuśika.

He possessed direct knowledge of the six supplementary branches of the Vedas (ṣaḍaṅga) and was likewise proficient in the Vedas themselves, dwelling at the foot of the Himalayas.
सोऽन्त्यं ब्राह्मं तपस्तेपे संहितां संयतो जपन् ।

6.
He, self-controlled and chanting the Samhita, performed the ultimate spiritual (brāhma) austerity (tapas). Thus, a thousand years passed for him under strict discipline (niyamena).
स देव्या दर्शितः साक्षात्प्रीतास्मीति तदा किल ।

7.
Then, he was directly seen by the Goddess (devī) who declared, "I am pleased." But he, silently continuing to repeat his chant (japya), did not say anything to her.
तस्यानुकम्पया देवी प्रीता समभवत्तदा ।
वेदमाता ततस्तस्य तज्जप्यं समपूजयत् ॥८॥

tataḥ vedamātā tasya tat japyam sam apūjayat
tataḥ vedamātā tasya tat japyam sam apūjayat
8.
Then, the Goddess (devī) became pleased due to her compassion for him. Thereupon, the Mother of the Vedas (Vedamātā) honored that chant (japya) of his.
समाप्तजप्यस्तूत्थाय शिरसा पादयोस्तथा ।

9.
Having completed his recitation (japa), the righteous man (dharmātmā) rose and prostrated himself with his head at the goddess's feet, and then spoke these words.
दिष्ट्या देवि प्रसन्ना त्वं दर्शनं चागता मम ।
यदि वापि प्रसन्नासि जप्ये मे रमतां मनः ॥१०॥
यदि वापि प्रसन्नासि जप्ये मे रमतां मनः ॥१०॥

10.
devi diṣṭyā tvam prasannā ca mama darśanam āgatā
yadi vā api prasannā asi me manaḥ japye ramatām
yadi vā api prasannā asi me manaḥ japye ramatām
10.
Fortunately, O Goddess, you are pleased and have appeared before me (given me your darśana). If you are indeed pleased, then let my mind find delight in my recitation (japa).

11.
Savitri said: "What do you desire, O Brahmin-sage? What is dear to you that I should do for you? Tell me, O best among those who perform recitation (japa)! All that will be yours."
भीष्म उवाच ।

12.
Bhishma said: "Thus addressed by the goddess, that Brahmin, who knew natural law (dharma), then spoke: 'May this desire of mine concerning recitation (japa) ever increase again and again.'"
मनसश्च समाधिर्मे वर्धेताहरहः शुभे ।

tataḥ devī tat tathā iti madhuram pratyabhāṣata
tataḥ devī tat tathā iti madhuram pratyabhāṣata
13.
O auspicious one, may my mind's concentration (dhyāna) increase day by day. Then, the goddess sweetly replied, "So be it."
इदं चैवापरं प्राह देवी तत्प्रियकाम्यया ।
निरयं नैव यातासि यत्र याता द्विजर्षभाः ॥१४॥
निरयं नैव यातासि यत्र याता द्विजर्षभाः ॥१४॥

nirayam na eva yātā asi yatra dvija-ṛṣabhāḥ yātāḥ
nirayam na eva yātā asi yatra dvija-ṛṣabhāḥ yātāḥ
14.
And the goddess, indeed desiring his welfare, said this other thing: "You will certainly not go to hell, where even the best among the twice-born (dvija) have gone."
यास्यसि ब्रह्मणः स्थानमनिमित्तमनिन्दितम् ।

15.
You will go to the faultless and imperishable abode of Brahmā. And whatever you have requested from me here, that I shall accomplish, and it shall come to pass.

16.
Regularly chant with one-pointed concentration. The natural law (dharma) will approach you. Time, Death, and Yama will all indeed come to your proximity. And there will be a dispute here between you and them, in accordance with natural law (dharma).

17.
After speaking thus, the revered goddess (bhagavatī) returned to her own abode. The Brahmin (brāhmaṇa) then remained, chanting for a divine hundred years.

When that wise Brahmin's spiritual observance (niyama) was completed, then Dharma (dharma) himself, being pleased, revealed himself to that twice-born (dvija).

19.
Dharma (dharma) said: "O twice-born (dvijāti)! Behold me, Dharma; I have come to see you. And listen to me about the result of the chanting (japa) that you have attained."

All the worlds, both divine and human, have been conquered by you. O virtuous one (sādhu), you shall transcend all the lower realms (niraya) of the gods and ascend.

O sage, give up your life (prāṇa) and go to the worlds you desire. Having abandoned your body, you will then attain those worlds.

The austerities (tapas) that have been practiced, and the penance (tapas) that you will undertake for hundreds and thousands of years, even that does not surpass truth.

Truth (satya) is the one-syllable (sacred word), the ultimate reality (brahman). Truth (satya) is the one-syllable austerity (tapas). Truth (satya) is the one-syllable Vedic ritual (yajña). Truth (satya) is the one-syllable revealed scripture.

Truth (satya) is manifest in the Vedas. The supreme fruit (phala) is said to reside in truth. From truth (satya) comes natural law (dharma) and self-control, and indeed, everything is established in truth (satya).

The Vedas and their auxiliary branches are truth (satyam); the Vedic ritual (yajña) and its procedures are truth (satyam); observances (vrata) are truth (satyam); and the sacred syllable Om (oṃkāra) is also truth (satyam) itself.

The birth of living beings is truth, and their continuation of progeny (saṃtati) is likewise truth. It is by truth that the wind blows, and by truth that the sun shines.

It is by truth (satyam) that fire burns; heaven is founded upon truth (satyam). The Vedic ritual (yajña), austerity (tapas), the Vedas, the "stobha"s (exclamations in Sāma Veda), mantras, and Sarasvatī (goddess of speech and knowledge) - all are truth (satyam).

We have heard that when natural law (dharma) and truth are placed upon a balance, truth is indeed [the more weighty]. Even when they appear to hold equal measure on the scale, it is truth that always possesses greater significance.

Where there is natural law (dharma), there is truth. Everything flourishes through truth. O king, why do you wish to perform a false action (karma)?

O king, establish a firm resolve in truth; do not engage in falsehood. Why do you make the inauspicious false statement, "Give it"?

O king, if you do not accept the fruit of my chanted prayers which I have offered, then, having deviated from your own natural duties (dharma), you will wander through the worlds.

He who, after promising, would not wish to give, and he who, after being requested, does not wish (to fulfill) - both of these are false. You ought not to make them liars (or treat them falsely).

O sinless one, O royal sage, this being (referring to the deformed man) previously gave an auspicious cow to a brāhmaṇa devoted to asceticism (tapas) and Vedic study, for the attainment of righteousness (dharma).
