Shloka 56
योग–सांख्यसमन्वयः, रथोपमा, व्यक्त–अव्यक्तविवेकः
Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
मातरं पितरं वृद्धमाचार्यमतिर्थि गुरुम् । गुरुत्वान्नाभ्यनन्दन्त कुमारान् नानवपालयन्
mātaraṃ pitaraṃ vṛddham ācāryam atithiṃ gurum | gurutvān nābhyanandanta kumārān nānavapālayan ||
シャクラ（インドラ）は言った。「自らを『長老』『上位者』と称しながらも、ダイティヤとダーナヴァは、母にも父にも、年長の長老にも、師にも、客にも、霊的導師にも敬意を払わない。さらに、子らを正しく養い、守り育てることもしない。」

Educational Q&A
True ‘gurutva’ (seniority/authority) is validated by conduct: honoring parents, elders, teachers, guests, and gurus, and responsibly caring for one’s children. Neglect of these duties marks adharma and moral degeneration.
Śakra (Indra) is characterizing the Daityas and Dānavas as ethically fallen: despite claiming superiority, they fail in basic social and religious obligations—showing disrespect to revered figures and neglecting the upbringing and protection of their children.
