Yayāti and Śarmiṣṭhā: request in ṛtu and discourse on truth and dharma
प्राणेभ्यो5पि प्रियतरा भार्गवस्य महात्मन: । त्वं भद्रे धर्मतः पूज्या गुरुपुत्री सदा मम,भद्रे! महात्मा भार्गवको तुम प्राणोंसे भी अधिक प्यारी हो, गुरुपुत्री होनेके कारण धर्मकी दृष्टिसे सदा मेरी पूजनीया हो
prāṇebhyo 'pi priyatarā bhārgavasya mahātmanaḥ | tvaṃ bhadre dharmataḥ pūjyā guruputrī sadā mama, bhadre ||
قال كَچَا: «أيتها السيدة الرقيقة، إنكِ أحبُّ إلى العظيم بهارغافا (Bhārgava) من حياته نفسها. غير أنكِ، لأنكِ ابنةُ مُعلّمي (guruputrī)، فأنتِ عندي—بحسب الدارما—مكرَّمةٌ على الدوام.»

Educational Q&A
Personal affection must be governed by dharma: even if someone is deeply dear, one must maintain proper reverence and ethical boundaries—here, honoring the guru’s household as worthy of respect.
Kaca addresses the guru’s daughter, expressing that she is extremely dear to him, yet he emphasizes that, as his teacher Bhārgava’s daughter, she must be treated with continual honor in accordance with dharma.
