Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
ऋषिभिर्त्रद्मणा चैव विबुधैश्व सुपूजित: । उवाच देवमीशानमीश: स जगतो हरि:
ṛṣibhir brahmaṇā caiva vibudhaiś ca supūjitaḥ | uvāca devam īśānam īśaḥ sa jagato hariḥ ||
ثم إنّ هَري—ربَّ الكون—وقد عُظِّم وعُبِد من الرِّشيّين وبراهما والآلهة، خاطب رودرا، السيّد العظيم، قائلاً: «يا مولاي! من عرفك حقّ المعرفة فقد عرفني أيضًا؛ ومن اتّبعك اتّبعني كذلك. لا فرق بيننا البتّة. فلا تدعْ خاطرًا مخالفًا لهذا يقوم في قلبك.»

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches theological non-difference and mutual recognition: knowing and following Rudra is equivalent to knowing and following Hari, emphasizing unity and discouraging sectarian opposition.
In a setting where Rudra is being greatly worshipped by sages, Brahmā, and the gods, Hari addresses Rudra and affirms their essential unity, instructing him not to entertain any contrary notion of difference.
