Janaka Instructs Śuka: Āśrama-Sequence, Guru-Dependence, and Marks of Liberation
ब्रह्मर्षे विदितश्वासि विषयांतमुपागतः । गुरोश्चैव प्रसादेन तव चैवोपशिक्षया ॥ ३९ ॥
brahmarṣe viditaśvāsi viṣayāṃtamupāgataḥ | guroścaiva prasādena tava caivopaśikṣayā || 39 ||
おおブラフマリシよ、汝はまことに成就者として知られている。師(グル)の恩寵と、汝自身の戒律ある修学と教えによって、感官の対象の究極の境地に到達したのだ。
Sanatkumara (one of the Sanatkumara brothers) addressing Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It emphasizes that transcendence of sense-enjoyments (viṣayānta) is not achieved by effort alone, but through the combined force of guru’s grace (guru-prasāda) and sustained inner discipline/training (upaśikṣā), pointing toward Moksha-Dharma.
While not naming a deity directly, it reinforces a key bhakti principle: advancement depends on the compassion of the spiritual teacher and humble receptivity to instruction—foundational attitudes for Vishnu-bhakti and surrender.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this line; the practical takeaway is pedagogical—systematic instruction (upaśikṣā) under a guru as the method by which higher knowledge becomes effective.
