कृतयुगवर्णनम् तथा राजधर्मोपदेशः
Kṛtayuga Description and Instruction on Royal Dharma
ततो मामब्रवीद् बाल: स प्रीत: प्रहसन्निव । श्रीवत्सधारी द्युतिमान् पीतवासा महाद्युति:,तब महातेजस्वी पीताम्बरधारी श्रीवत्सभूषित कान्तिमान् उस बालकने प्रसन्न होकर हँसते हुए-से मुझसे कहा--
tato mām abravīd bālaḥ sa prītaḥ prahasann iva | śrīvatsadhārī dyutimān pītavāsā mahādyutiḥ ||
するとその童子は—満ち足り、微笑むかのように—私に語りかけた。黄衣をまとい、シュリーヴァツァ（Śrīvatsa）の印を飾って、まばゆい光を放ち、大いなる輝きに満ちていた。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that spiritual authority and dharmic instruction may come through an apparently simple or youthful figure, yet recognized by auspicious marks (Śrīvatsa), serenity, and radiance—suggesting that inner divinity, not outward status, is the true indicator of guidance.
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates a moment where a radiant boy—smiling and pleased, wearing yellow garments and marked with Śrīvatsa—addresses him, setting up the next portion of dialogue or instruction.
