Strī-dharma: Śiva’s Inquiry, Umā’s Consultation, and Gaṅgā’s Instruction
श्रूयतां चापरं गुहां रहस्यं धर्मसंहितम् । श्रद्दधानेन कर्तव्यं गुरूणां वचनं सदा,अब दूसरी धर्मयुक्त गोपनीय रहस्यकी बात सुनो। सदा श्रद्धापूर्वक गुरुजनोंकी आज्ञाका पालन करना चाहिये
śrūyatāṃ cāparaṃ guhyaṃ rahasyaṃ dharmasaṃhitam | śraddadhānena kartavyaṃ gurūṇāṃ vacanaṃ sadā ||
いま、さらに一つの秘められた教え—ダルマにかなう内奥の法を聞け。信と敬意をもって、長老と師の言葉と教えを常に実行すべきである。

Educational Q&A
A dharma-consistent ‘secret’ is emphasized: one should, with śraddhā (faithful trust), always follow the instruction (vacana) of one’s gurus/elders—treating their guidance as a binding ethical duty (kartavya).
The speaker, Lokaśa, introduces a further confidential instruction framed as a dharmic principle, directing the listener toward continual, faith-based adherence to the counsel and commands of teachers and elders.
