Chapter 34
गुरुप्रसादे स्वाध्याये यतन्तो ये स्थिरव्रता: । शुश्रूषवो5नसूयन्तस्तान् नमस्यामि यादव
guruprasāde svādhyāye yatanto ye sthiravratāḥ | śuśrūṣavo 'nasūyantas tān namasyāmi yādava, yadukulatilaka ||
قال نارادا: «يا يادافا، يا زينة سلالة يادُو! إنّي أنحني لمن ثبتوا على نذورهم—الذين يكدّون على الدوام لنيل رضا المعلّم وملازمة السْفادْهيَايَا (الدراسة الذاتية)، الذين لا تنكسر عهودهم، الذين يخدمون الشيوخ والمعلّمين بخضوعٍ وإخلاص، والذين لا يفتّشون عن عيوب الناس ولا يحسدون أحدًا.»

Educational Q&A
True dharmic character is marked by disciplined learning (svādhyāya), steady vows (sthiravrata), devoted service to teachers and elders (śuśrūṣā), and freedom from envy or fault-finding (anasūyā). Such conduct is worthy of reverence.
Nārada addresses Kṛṣṇa (as Yādava, yadukulatilaka) and offers salutations to an ideal class of practitioners—those who strive to please their guru, persist in study, serve respectfully, and refrain from criticizing others—thereby praising a model of ethical and spiritual discipline.
