नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
तदनन्तर मुझे तापसे दग्ध होता देख भगवान् सूर्यने कहा--'“तात! तुम दो घड़ीतक इस तापको सहन करो। फिर यह स्वयं ही शीतल एवं शान्त हो जायगा” ।।
tad-anantaraṁ māṁ tāpasena dagdhaṁ hotaṁ dṛṣṭvā bhagavān sūrya uvāca— “tāta! tvaṁ dve ghaṭike tāvat imaṁ tāpaṁ sahiṣyase; tataḥ svayam eva śītalaṁ śāntaṁ ca bhaviṣyati.” śītībhūtaṁ ca māṁ dṛṣṭvā bhagavān āha bhāskaraḥ— “pratiṣṭhāsyati te vedaḥ sakhilaḥ sottaro dvija.”
そののち、苦行の熱に焼かれるわたしを見て、福徳ある日神は言った。「わが子よ、この熱を二ガティカーのあいだ耐えよ。やがてそれは自ずから冷え、静まるであろう。」わたしがすっかり冷えきったのを見て、神なるバースカラは告げた。「おお二度生まれの者よ、ウッタラ(奥義書という究竟の部)をも含む完全なるヴェーダの全てが、汝の内に堅く安立するであろう。」

Endurance and disciplined tapas lead to inner cooling (śānti) and readiness for higher knowledge; when the seeker is purified and steadied, sacred learning—up to the Upaniṣadic culmination—can become firmly established within.
Yājñavalkya describes being scorched by ascetic heat; the Sun-god instructs him to endure briefly until the heat naturally subsides. Once cooled, the Sun blesses him that the complete Veda, including its culminating teachings (uttara/Upaniṣads), will be established in him.
