sāṅkṛtiś ca tathātreyaḥ śiṣyebhyo brahma nirguṇam upadiśya mahātejā gato lokān anuttamān
Vyāsa bersabda—Demikian pula Sāṅkṛti, resi mulia dari garis Ātreya; setelah mengajarkan kepada para muridnya Brahman yang nirguṇa (tanpa sifat), ia mencapai alam-alam yang tiada bandingnya.

Educational Q&A
That imparting the highest, attributeless Brahman-knowledge (nirguṇa-brahma-upadeśa) to disciples is a dharmic act that leads to supreme spiritual attainment; the verse presents teaching as a direct means to liberation and exalted realms.
Vyāsa continues a catalog-like account of revered sages: he states that the sage Sāṅkṛti of the Ātreya line taught his disciples about nirguṇa Brahman and, after completing this instruction, attained the unsurpassed worlds.
