तेजः क्षमा धृतिः शौचमद्रोहो नातिमानिता | भवन्ति सम्पदं दैवीमभिजातस्य भारत
tejaḥ kṣamā dhṛtiḥ śaucamadroho nātimānitā . bhavanti sampadaṃ daivīmabhijātasya bhārata
La vigueur, le pardon, la fermeté, la pureté, l'absence de haine, l'absence d'orgueil excessif – telles sont, ô descendant de la dynastie des Bharata, les qualités de celui qui est né pour posséder la nature divine.
Vigour, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, freedom from malice, absence of haughtiness-these, O scion of the Bharata dynasty, are (the alties) of one born destined to have the divine nature.
Ce verset conclut l'énumération des vingt-six qualités divines (Daivī Sampat) qui caractérisent un être destiné à la libération. La vigueur (tejaḥ) représente l'énergie et l'éclat qui permettent à l'aspirant de progresser sans relâche sur le chemin spirituel. Le pardon (kṣamā) est la capacité à ne pas se mettre en colère même face à l'insulte ou à la blessure, même si l'on est capable de se venger. La fermeté (dhṛtiḥ) est la constance et la résilience face aux calamités et aux épreuves, une force intérieure qui prévient la dépression. La pureté (śaucam) est double : externe (par l'eau et la terre) et interne (libération de la tromperie, de la luxure, de la colère, etc., par la pratique de vertus comme la chasteté et la compassion). L'absence de haine (adrohaḥ) est l'absence de désir de nuire à autrui. Enfin, l'absence d'orgueil excessif (nātimānitā) est l'humilité, le contraire de l'arrogance. Ces vertus sont un don rare du Seigneur, une richesse inépuisable qui mène à l'état impérissable du Brahman et au bonheur éternel du mokṣa.
Tejas Vigour? energy? brilliance or lustre of the skin. The aspirant who is bent on attaining salvation marches boldly on the spiritual path. Nothing can tempt him or slacken his progress. This unbroken progress towards the realisation of the Self or the Absolute is lustre. It overcomes the downward pull of Tamas.Kshama Forgiveness. He who is endowed with this virtue does not exhibit anger even when he is insulted? ruked or beaten? although he is strong enough to take vengeance. He is unaffected by the insult or injury.Dhriti The sage absorbs within himself all calamities. He is steadfast even when he is in very adverse and trying conditions this is a particular Sattvic Vritti or state of mind which removes depression or exhaustion of the body and senses when they sink down. An aspirant who is endowed with this divine attribute never gets disheartened? even when he is under severe trials and difficulties or tribulations. Dhriti is a divine pickmeup (tonic) when the body and the senses are in a state of low spirits or dejection.Saucham Purity. This is of two kinds? viz.? external and internal. External purity is achieved by means of earth and water. The mind and heart (intellect) are freed from Maya (deception? lust? anger? greed? pride? jealousy? hypocrisy? likes and dislikes) by the practice of celibacy? forgiveness? friendliness? charity? humility? nobilit? love? complacency? compassion? etc. -- this is internal purity. This is more important than external purity.Adroha Absence of hatred? absence of desire to injure others.Atimanita is great pride. A proud man thinks that he is superior to others and that he is worthy of being honoured by others. Naatimanita is the opposite of this ality.Tejas? Kshama and Dhriti are the special alities or Dharmas of the Kshatriyas (warrior class). These are the Sattvic alities of Kshatriyas. Saucham and Adroha are the special Dharmas of the Vaisyas. They are the Sattvic alities of the Vaisyas (merchant class). Absence of pride is the special Dharma of the Sudras (servant class). It is a Sattvic ality that belongs to the Sudras.The divine wealth or Daivi Sampat consists of twentysix attributes. This is a rare gift from the Lord. This is an inexhaustible wealth which cannot be taken away by dacoits. This helps the aspirant attain the imperishable and immacultate Brahmic seat. It is the shortcut to the realm of eternal bliss or Moksha.
