Shloka 8
यथाअज्ञापयसे दिद्वंस्त्वं हि नः परमो गुरु: । यच्चान्यदपि कर्तव्यं तद् विधत्स्व महामते
yathājñāpayase didvaṁs tvaṁ hi naḥ paramo guruḥ | yac cānyad api kartavyaṁ tad vidhatsva mahāmate ||
«ឱ អ្នកប្រាជ្ញ! ដូចដែលលោកបញ្ជា យើងនឹងប្រព្រឹត្តតាម; ព្រោះលោកជាគ្រូដ៏ខ្ពង់ខ្ពស់បំផុតរបស់យើង។ ឱ មហាមតិ! ហើយអ្វីផ្សេងទៀតដែលជាកាតព្វកិច្ចរបស់យើង សូមលោកកំណត់ និងណែនាំឲ្យយើងដែរ»។

Educational Q&A
The verse upholds dharma through disciplined obedience to rightful guidance: when a truly wise and authoritative counselor is present, one should align action with that counsel and seek clarity about remaining duties rather than act from impulse or pride.
Vidura addresses a respected ‘learned one’ as the supreme guide, affirming that the group will follow his command and requesting further instruction about any additional obligations—framing the next course of action as a matter of duty under wise direction.
