Means to Slay Tāraka: Girijā’s Birth, Kāma’s Burning, and Umā’s Austerities
तत्फलोद्भवसंपत्तौ त्वं मया विदितो मुने । वेत्स्येव तत्समस्तं त्वं तथापि परिचोदितः
tatphalodbhavasaṃpattau tvaṃ mayā vidito mune | vetsyeva tatsamastaṃ tvaṃ tathāpi paricoditaḥ
হে মুনে, তোমাৰ সাধনাৰ ফলস্বৰূপ উদ্ভৱ হোৱা সমৃদ্ধিৰ দ্বাৰাই মই তোমাক চিনিলোঁ। তুমি নিশ্চয় সকলো কথা সম্পূৰ্ণকৈ জানো; তথাপি তোমাক ক’বলৈ প্ৰেৰণা দিয়া হৈছে।
Unspecified narrator/speaker addressing a sage (muni) within the Adhyaya’s dialogue context
Concept: Spiritual attainment is inferred from its fruits; the wise may know fully yet still speak for the benefit of others when prompted.
Application: Let results validate practice without arrogance; when asked, share knowledge for others’ uplift even if it seems obvious to you.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: तत्फलोद्भवसंपत्तौ → तत्-फल-उद्भव-संपत्तौ; वेत्स्येव in source likely वेत्सि इव (sandhi: इ + इव → एव).
The speaker acknowledges the sage’s attainment—recognizable by its “fruit” (results/prosperity)—and notes that although the sage already knows the matter completely, he is still being requested to explain it.
It mirrors the common Purāṇic dialogue style: a knower is respectfully urged to teach for the benefit of others, even when the teacher already possesses full knowledge.
True knowledge is confirmed by its fruits (conduct, clarity, accomplishment), and the wise may still speak when requested—out of compassion and to transmit understanding.
