Description of Brahmā’s Assembly and the Eminence of Hariścandra
ऋग्वेद: सामवेदश्न यजुर्वेदश्च॒ पाण्डव । अथर्ववेदश्न तथा सर्वशास्त्राणि चैव ह,पाण्डुनन्दन! ऋग्वेद, सामवेद, यजुर्वेद, अथर्ववेद तथा सम्पूर्ण शास्त्र,
ṛgvedaḥ sāmavedaś ca yajurvedaś ca pāṇḍava | atharvavedaś ca tathā sarvaśāstrāṇi caiva ha ||
Dijo Nārada: «Oh Pāṇḍava, el Ṛgveda, el Sāmaveda, el Yajurveda y asimismo el Atharvaveda; en verdad, todos los śāstras sagrados también (se conocen/se abarcan) aquí». En su contexto, la frase eleva el saber védico y la totalidad del śāstra como fundamento integral de la recta conducta y del discernimiento.
