Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
इदं महर्षेर्वचनं विनिश्चितं महात्मन: पुरुषवरस्य कीर्तितम् । समागमं॑ चर्षिदिवौकसामिमं निशम्य भक्ता: सुसुखं लभन्ते
idam maharṣer vacanaṁ viniścitaṁ mahātmanaḥ puruṣavarasya kīrtitam | samāgamaṁ cārṣidivaukasām imaṁ niśamya bhaktāḥ susukhaṁ labhante ||
এইটো মহর্ষি—মহাত্মা পুৰুষপ্ৰৱৰ—ৰ বিনিশ্চিত, সিদ্ধান্তভূত বচন বুলি কীৰ্তিত। আৰু ঋষি আৰু দেৱতাসকলৰ এই সমাগমৰ বৃত্তান্ত শুনি ভক্তজন উৎকৃষ্ট সুখ লাভ কৰে।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
That a definitive, well-ascertained dharmic teaching—especially when received through devoted listening—yields inner happiness and spiritual benefit. The verse highlights śravaṇa as an ethical-spiritual practice: hearing true instruction refines understanding and supports right conduct.
Vaiśampāyana concludes or commends a section by affirming that the sage’s settled teaching has been proclaimed, and that the account of an assembly involving ṛṣis and the gods has been related; those who listen with devotion gain excellent happiness.
