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 ||
ಭೂತ, ವರ್ತಮಾನ ಮತ್ತು ಭವಿಷ್ಯ—ಈ ಮೂರು ಕಾಲಗಳ ಜ್ಞಾನವು ನಾನು ಬಯಸಿದಂತೆಯೇ ನನಗೆ ಪ್ರಕಟವಾಗಿದೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ವಿಧಿ-ನ್ಯಾಯಾನುಸಾರ ಗಮನದಿಂದ ಕೇಳಿರಿ; ಸಂಶಯವನ್ನು ನಿವಾರಿಸುವ ಪರಮೋತ್ತಮ ನಿರ್ಣಯವನ್ನು ನಾನು ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ.

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.
