नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
ततो मां भगवानाह वितरिष्यामि ते द्विज । सरस्वतीह वाग्भूता शरीर ते प्रवेक्ष्यति
tato māṁ bhagavān āha vitariṣyāmi te dvija | sarasvatīha vāgbhūtā śarīra te pravekṣyati ||
Then the Blessed One said to me, “O twice-born sage, I shall bestow upon you the Yajurveda. Open your mouth; Sarasvatī—embodied as sacred speech—will enter your body.” Hearing this, I opened my mouth, and the goddess Sarasvatī entered within.

Educational Q&A
Vedic knowledge is portrayed as a sacred trust granted through divine sanction; the recipient must be pure, receptive, and committed to responsible preservation and transmission, since true learning is inseparable from ethical discipline (dharma).
Yājñavalkya recounts that the Lord (identified in the accompanying prose as Sūrya) promises to bestow the Yajurveda; Sarasvatī, as embodied speech, enters his body—symbolizing the internalization of Vedic revelation and the awakening of authoritative sacred utterance.
