Shloka 27
Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
त्रैकालिकमिद ज्ञान प्रादुर्भूत॑ यथेप्सितम् । तच्छुणुध्वं यथान्यायं वक्ष्ये संशयमुत्तमम्
traikālikam idaṁ jñānaṁ prādurbhūtaṁ yathepsitam | tac chṛṇudhvaṁ yathānyāyaṁ vakṣye saṁśayam uttamam ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「過去・現在・未来の三時にわたるこの知は、望みのままにわれに顕れた。ゆえに正しき作法に従い、心して聴け。疑いを断つ最高の決を、われは語ろう。」

Educational Q&A
The speaker frames his forthcoming instruction as doubt-dispelling guidance grounded in nyāya (propriety/justice), claiming authoritative insight (knowledge spanning the three times) and urging disciplined listening—an ethical posture for receiving dharmic teaching.
Vaiśampāyana announces that a special, comprehensive knowledge has manifested to him and invites the listeners to hear carefully; he is about to deliver an excellent clarification intended to resolve a significant doubt.
