नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
विद्योपेतं धनं कृत्वा कर्मणा नित्यकर्मणि । एकान्तदर्शना वेदा: सर्वे विश्वावसो स्मृता:
vidyopetaṃ dhanaṃ kṛtvā karmaṇā nityakarmaṇi | ekāntadarśanā vedāḥ sarve viśvāvaso smṛtāḥ ||
ヤージュニャヴァルキヤは言った。「知を真の財として、アーンヴィークシキーの学を伴うヴェーダの学という宝を積み、規律ある努力によって日々の必須の祭式に堅く従事せよ。おおヴィシュヴァーヴァスよ、すべてのヴェーダは、一点に定まる洞見をもって追究されるべき教えと見なされる—篤い自習誦読(スヴァーディヤーヤ)と省察(マナナ)によって。」
याज़्ञवल्क्य उवाच
True wealth is knowledge (vidyā). One should acquire and cultivate it, and then live it out through steady performance of daily obligatory duties (nitya-karma), while approaching the Vedas with single-pointed study and reflective contemplation.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, Yājñavalkya addresses Viśvāvasu and gives a concise directive: treat Vedic learning as one’s treasure, remain engaged in prescribed daily duties, and pursue the Vedas through focused study and inner reflection.
