Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
इदं सत्यं द्विजातीनां साधूनामात्मजस्य च । सुहृदां च जपेत् कर्णे शिष्यस्यानुगतस्य च,इस सत्य सिद्धान्तको ब्राह्मण आदि द्विजों, साधु पुरुषों, पुत्र, सुहृदों, शिष्यवर्ग तथा अपने अनुगत मनुष्योंके कानमें कहना चाहिये
idaṃ satyaṃ dvijātīnāṃ sādhūnām ātmajasya ca | suhṛdāṃ ca japet karṇe śiṣyasyānugatasya ca ||
プラースティヤは言った。「この真実は、二度生まれし者たちに、徳ある人々に、わが子に、信頼すべき友に、そして従順で篤信の弟子に、耳もとで囁くように静かに授けるべきである。」
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
A true principle should be shared with discernment: it is to be conveyed privately and respectfully to qualified, trustworthy recipients—virtuous people, one’s son, close well-wishers, and an obedient disciple—rather than broadcast indiscriminately.
Pulastya, speaking as an authoritative sage, gives an instruction about how sacred or ethically weighty truth is to be transmitted—by quiet recitation/whispering into the ear—emphasizing controlled dissemination within trusted relationships.
