Shloka 30
नारद–असित (देवल) संवादः — भूतप्रभवाप्यय, इन्द्रिय-गुण-विवेक, क्षेत्रज्ञ-तत्त्व
यज्ञार्थानि हि सृष्टानि यथार्था श्रूयते श्रुति: । एवं पूर्वतरा: सर्वे प्रवृत्ताश्वैव मानवा:
yajñārthāni hi sṛṣṭāni yathārthā śrūyate śrutiḥ | evaṃ pūrvataraḥ sarve pravṛttāś caiva mānavāḥ ||
カピラは言った。「まことに万物は祭祀のために創られた—ヴェーダの啓示（シュルティ）はこの真実をそのまま告げている。かくして、先の世の人々は皆、祭祀の遂行に従事してきたのだ。」
कपिल उवाच
Educational Q&A
Kapila affirms a Vedic worldview in which creation is oriented toward yajña—sacrificial offering and disciplined duty—so that human life aligns with śruti and sustains dharma through ordained action.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional dialogue, Kapila speaks as a teacher, citing śruti to justify that earlier humans consistently practiced yajña, presenting it as an ancient, normative pattern of righteous conduct.
