Adhyaya 78 — Hymn to Surya and the Distribution of Solar Splendour; Genealogy of Vaivasvata and Chaya’s Line
इदं स्तोत्रवरं रम्यं श्रोतव्यं श्रद्धया नरैः । शिष्यॊ भूत्वा समाधिस्थो दत्त्वा देयं गुरोरपि ॥
idaṃ stotravaraṃ ramyaṃ śrotavyaṃ śraddhayā naraiḥ / śiṣyo bhūtvā samādhistho dattvā deyaṃ gurorapi
ينبغي أن يُستمع إلى هذا النشيد الرفيع البهيج من أهل الإيمان. فإذا صار المرء تلميذاً، واستقرّ في جمع القلب (السمادهي)، وقدّم للمعلم ما يجب تقديمه—حينئذٍ يُتلقّى (ويُنقَل).
