Entry into the Yakṣa-Lake Episode
राजोवाच अविचाल्यं तदुक्तं यत् तथ्यं भगवता वच: । करिष्याम्येतदेवं च गुरुर्हि भगवान् मम,राजा बोले--देवर्षे! आपने जो बात कही है, वह ठीक है। उसे टाला नहीं जा सकता। अतः मैं ऐसा ही करूँगा, क्योंकि आप मेरे गुरु हैं
rājovāca—avicālyaṃ tad uktaṃ yat tathyaṃ bhagavatā vacaḥ | kariṣyāmy etad evaṃ ca gurur hi bhagavān mama ||
El rey dijo: «Oh devarṣi, lo que has dicho es verdad y no puede dejarse de lado. Por tanto, obraré exactamente como has indicado, pues tú, venerable sabio, eres en verdad mi maestro.»

Educational Q&A
A truthful instruction given by a revered teacher should not be dismissed; ethical action includes humility and readiness to follow sound counsel grounded in truth (tathya) and dharma.
A king responds to a sage’s guidance (addressing him as Devarṣi and guru), affirming that the sage’s words are true and binding, and pledging to carry out the advised course of action.
