āmnāyam ārṣaṁ paśyāmi yasmin vedāḥ pratiṣṭhitāḥ | taṁ vidvāṁso 'nupaśyanti brāhmaṇasyānudarśanāt ||
Kapila dit : «Je contemple l’antique tradition, transmise par les voyants (āmnāya), en laquelle les Veda sont solidement établis. Parce qu’elle est confirmée par les parties Brahmana, d’autorité pour guider l’acte rituel, les savants reconnaissent cet enseignement des rishis comme une norme valable.»

Educational Q&A
Kapila affirms a hierarchy of scriptural authority: the seer-transmitted tradition (āmnāya) is trustworthy because the Vedas are grounded in it and because it is corroborated by the Brāhmaṇa portions that prescribe and explain ritual action; thus the learned accept it as pramāṇa (a valid standard).
In the didactic setting of Śānti Parva, Kapila is explaining how wise people determine what counts as authoritative dharma/ritual teaching, pointing to the continuity between Veda, Brāhmaṇa guidance, and the received seerly tradition.
