अवधेन वध: प्रोक्तो यद् गुरुस्त्वमिति प्रभु: । तद् ब्रूहि त्वं यन्मयोक्तं धर्मराजस्य धर्मवित्
Translation
Vāyu sprach: „Der Sinn jener Śruti lautet: ‘Den Lehrer mit “tvam” anzureden heißt, ihn zu töten, ohne zu töten.’ Darum, auch wenn du die Dharma kennst, sprich, wie ich es gesagt habe: verwende gegenüber dem Dharmarāja das Wort ‘tvam’.“
