Shloka 27
Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
त्रैकालिकमिद ज्ञान प्रादुर्भूत॑ यथेप्सितम् । तच्छुणुध्वं यथान्यायं वक्ष्ये संशयमुत्तमम्
traikālikam idaṁ jñānaṁ prādurbhūtaṁ yathepsitam | tac chṛṇudhvaṁ yathānyāyaṁ vakṣye saṁśayam uttamam ||
অতীত, বর্তমান ও ভবিষ্যৎ—তিন কালের এই জ্ঞান আমার কাছে ঠিক যেমন চেয়েছিলাম তেমনই প্রকাশিত হয়েছে। অতএব বিধি ও ন্যায় অনুসারে মনোযোগ দিয়ে শোনো; আমি সেই সর্বোত্তম সিদ্ধান্ত বলব যা সংশয় দূর করে।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The speaker frames his forthcoming instruction as doubt-dispelling guidance grounded in nyāya (propriety/justice), claiming authoritative insight (knowledge spanning the three times) and urging disciplined listening—an ethical posture for receiving dharmic teaching.
Vaiśampāyana announces that a special, comprehensive knowledge has manifested to him and invites the listeners to hear carefully; he is about to deliver an excellent clarification intended to resolve a significant doubt.
