कर्ण–कृष्णसंवादः (Karṇa–Kṛṣṇa-saṃvādaḥ) — Karṇa’s Statement on Lineage, Loyalty, and the ‘Śastra-yajña’ Metaphor
वायुदेव उवाच उपासितास्ते राधेय ब्राह्मणा वेदपारगा: । तत्त्वार्थ परिपृष्टाश्न नियतेनानसूयया
vāyudeva uvāca | upāsitās te rādheya brāhmaṇā vedapāragāḥ | tattvārtha-paripṛṣṭāś ca niyatena anasūyayā ||
वायुदेव ने कहा— “राधेय! तुमने वेदपारंगत ब्राह्मणों की उपासना की है। संयम-नियम से रहकर, दोषदृष्टि का त्याग करके, तुमने तत्त्वार्थ के लिए उनसे प्रश्न किये हैं।”
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
True learning is grounded in character: one should approach the learned with reverence, practice self-restraint, and inquire into truth without envy or a fault-finding attitude. Knowledge sought in humility becomes ethically transformative.
Vāyudeva addresses Rādheya (Karṇa), acknowledging his past conduct: he honored Veda-knowing Brahmins and questioned them about tattva (truth) while maintaining disciplined behavior and anasūyā (non-malicious, non-censorious disposition).
