Kārttikeya
अग्निमध्ये गवां मध्ये ब्राह्मणानां च संसदि | विद्यावेदव्रतस्नाता ब्राह्मुणा: पुण्यकर्मिण:
vyāsa uvāca | agnimadhye gavāṁ madhye brāhmaṇānāṁ ca saṁsadi | vidyāvedavratasnātā brāhmaṇāḥ puṇyakarmiṇaḥ |
في وسط النيران المقدّسة، وبين الأبقار، وفي مجلس البراهمة، ينبغي لأولئك البراهمة الذين طهّرتهم المعرفةُ ودراسةُ الفيدا والانضباطُ بالنذور—وهم أهلُ عملٍ صالح—أن ينهضوا بالتعليم ونقل العلم المقدّس.
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
That sacred knowledge should be transmitted by disciplined, meritorious Brāhmaṇas in sanctified contexts—near the sacred fire, among cows, and within the learned assembly—so that teaching remains aligned with dharma, purity, and communal accountability.
Vyāsa lays down a normative instruction about where and by whom teaching should be conducted: qualified Brāhmaṇas, trained through learning, Vedic study, and vows, are to teach in ritually and ethically charged settings that reinforce the sanctity of the act.
