सूत उवाच । आसीद्ब्राह्मणशार्दूलः शाकल्य इति विश्रुतः । भार्गवान्वयसंभूतो वेद वेदांगपारगः
sūta uvāca | āsīdbrāhmaṇaśārdūlaḥ śākalya iti viśrutaḥ | bhārgavānvayasaṃbhūto veda vedāṃgapāragaḥ
সূতে ক’লে: এক সময়ত ব্ৰাহ্মণসকলৰ মাজত সিংহসম শাকল্য নামে বিখ্যাত এজন আছিল। তেওঁ ভাৰ্গৱ বংশত জন্ম লৈ, বেদ আৰু বেদাঙ্গত সম্পূৰ্ণ পাৰদৰ্শী আছিল।
Sūta
Listener: Ṛṣis
Scene: Sūta describes Śākalya: a dignified brāhmaṇa with sharp gaze, holding a manuscript or staff, surrounded by students; subtle aura of scholastic intensity.
Spiritual authority in Purāṇic narratives is grounded in lineage, discipline, and mastery of śāstra.
This verse introduces a key figure whose story will support the tīrtha’s glory; the place-name is not stated in this line.
None; it establishes the credentials of Śākalya as a Vedic authority within the māhātmya.
