Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
मयि चेदस्ति ते प्रीतिर्नित्यं कुरुकुलोद्वह । अध्यात्ममेतच्छुत्वा त्वं सम्यगाचर सुव्रत
mayi ced asti te prītir nityaṁ kurukulodvaha | adhyātmam etac chrutvā tvaṁ samyag āchara suvrata ||
वायुदेव बोले—कुरुकुल-नन्दन! यदि मुझ पर तुम्हारा नित्य प्रेम और श्रद्धा है, तो इस अध्यात्म-तत्त्व को सुनकर तुम उत्तम व्रतधारी की भाँति इसका यथावत् और निरन्तर आचरण करो।
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Devotion is validated through conduct: if the listener truly reveres Vāyu, they must not merely hear adhyātma (inner spiritual knowledge) but practice it correctly and continuously, with disciplined commitment.
Vāyu addresses a Kuru scion and frames his instruction as a test of sincerity: the recipient’s love and respect should manifest as steady, proper observance of the adhyātma teaching just imparted.
