Adhyaya 78 — Hymn to Surya and the Distribution of Solar Splendour; Genealogy of Vaivasvata and Chaya’s Line
इदं स्तोत्रवरं रम्यं श्रोतव्यं श्रद्धया नरैः । शिष्यॊ भूत्वा समाधिस्थो दत्त्वा देयं गुरोरपि ॥
idaṃ stotravaraṃ ramyaṃ śrotavyaṃ śraddhayā naraiḥ / śiṣyo bhūtvā samādhistho dattvā deyaṃ gurorapi
এই উৎকৃষ্ট ও মনোহর স্তোত্রটি শ্রদ্ধাবান জনের শ্রবণীয়। শিষ্যত্ব গ্রহণ করে, সমাধিতে প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়ে, এবং গুরুকে যা অর্পণীয় তা অর্পণ করে—তবে একে গ্রহণ (এবং পরম্পরায় প্রদান) করা উচিত।

Sacred knowledge is not treated as casual information: it requires humility (discipleship), inner steadiness (samādhi-like attention), and ethical reciprocity (honoring the teacher).
Falls under Dharma/Ācāra (right conduct) rather than cosmological enumeration; it regulates how Purāṇic/Vedic praise is to be approached and preserved.
The ‘guru’ principle can be read inwardly as the guiding intelligence (antar-guru). ‘Samādhi-stha’ suggests that the hymn bears fruit when heard with one-pointed awareness, not merely as sound.
