যি বেদ আৰু বেদাঙ্গৰ তত্ত্বাৰ্থ জানে, অন্তৰাত্মা শুদ্ধ আৰু পাপবর্জিত—শ্ৰেষ্ঠ, শ্ৰোত্ৰিয় বিদ্যাৰে সমৃদ্ধ আৰু প্ৰাজ্ঞ—তাক ‘অনূচান’ বুলি স্মৰণ কৰা হয়।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), contextually within Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration to the sages
Scene: A wise anūcāna in meditation beside a sacred fire, with manuscripts closed—signifying internalized meaning; a faint aura of purity; disciples approach with questions.
