Adhyaya 45 — Jaimini’s Cosmological Questions and the Opening of Markandeya’s Account of Primary Creation
यद्यहं सङ्गमासाद्य भवदिभर्ज्ञानदृष्टिभिः ।
न स्यां कृतार्थस्तन्नूनं न मेऽन्यत्र कृतार्थता ॥
yady ahaṃ saṅgam āsādya bhavadibhar jñānadṛṣṭibhiḥ | na syāṃ kṛtārthas tan nūnaṃ na me 'nyatra kṛtārthatā ||
Jika setelah memperoleh pergaulan denganmu—yang pandangannya berlandaskan pengetahuan—aku tetap tidak terpenuhi, maka sungguh tiada pemenuhan bagiku di tempat lain mana pun.

True accomplishment is framed as right understanding gained from the wise; the verse models śraddhā and vinaya—essential dispositions for receiving purāṇic teaching.
A framing verse (upodghāta) that legitimizes the forthcoming pañcalakṣaṇa inquiry: the student declares that the sages’ discourse is the highest available source for sarga, pratisarga, etc.
‘Fulfillment’ (kṛtārthatā) hints that knowledge is not mere information but a transformative ‘seeing’ (dṛṣṭi) that ends inner lack; the ‘elsewhere’ negated is external seeking.
