ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「王よ、はるかな昔の時代に、三人の同胞の兄弟がいた。名をエカタ、ドヴィタ、トリタという。三人はいずれも苦行に励む牟尼であり、ブラフマン（Brahman）を説く者であった。太陽のごとく輝き、プラジャーパティのごとく子孫に恵まれ、聖なる規律に堅く立ち、苦行の力によってブラフマーの世界—ブラフマローカ（Brahmaloka）への到達を得たのである。」

Educational Q&A
Spiritual attainment is presented as the fruit of disciplined tapas and right understanding: those who live as brahmavādins—grounded in Brahman-knowledge and ascetic restraint—can ‘conquer’ even the highest realms, illustrating the ethical ideal that inner discipline and truth-oriented teaching lead to exalted results.
Vaiśampāyana begins (or continues) an illustrative account set in an earlier age, introducing three brother-sages—Ekata, Dvita, and Trita—describing their radiance, progeny, and Brahman-oriented teaching, and stating that through austerities they attained Brahmaloka.
