पुण्यकर्मभिराख्याता देवर्षिकथिता: कथा: । चक्रतुस्तो तथा55सीनौ महर्षिकथितास्तथा,फिर उन दोनोंने गंगाजीमें गोते लगाकर मनको एकाग्र करके संक्षेपसे गायत्रीजपका कार्य पूर्ण किया। इसके बाद सूक्ष्म सुवर्णमयी बालुकासे भरे हुए सुन्दर गंगातटपर आकर वे दोनों बैठ गये और पुण्यात्मा पुरुषों, देवर्षियों तथा महर्षियोंके मुखसे सुनी हुई कथाएँ कहने-सुनने लगे
puṇyakarmabhir ākhyātā devarṣikathitāḥ kathāḥ | cakratuḥ sto tathāsīnau maharṣikathitās tathā ||
Dijo Bhishma: Sentados allí, ambos comenzaron a relatar y a escuchar narraciones sagradas: historias ligadas a obras meritorias, tal como las enseñaron los rishis divinos y los grandes sabios. Así, tras cumplir sus observancias purificatorias, se entregaron al edificante intercambio de la tradición, que fortalece el dharma y refina la mente.

Educational Q&A
Dharma is strengthened not only by ritual purity and disciplined conduct but also by attentive engagement with time-tested sacred narratives. Stories transmitted by seers and sages function as ethical instruction, shaping character and guiding right action.
After completing their observances, two individuals sit down and begin to tell and hear traditional sacred stories—accounts associated with meritorious deeds and taught by divine seers and great sages—creating a setting of reflective, dharma-oriented discourse.
