This verse describes Vyāsa teaching specific Vedic recensions to qualified disciples—Paila receiving the Bahvṛca (Ṛg) Saṁhitā and Vaiśampāyana receiving the Yajur collection—showing paramparā-based preservation.
To preserve and propagate the vast Vedic corpus effectively, Vyāsa entrusted distinct recensions to specialized disciples who could maintain accuracy and teach them onward.
Seek learning through authentic sources and trained teachers, value faithful transmission, and approach scripture with discipline rather than casual reinterpretation.
