Shloka 27
Arjuna’s request to Krishna and the opening of the Kāśyapa–Brāhmaṇa mokṣa discourse (Āśvamedhika-parva 16)
उपपन्नं च तत्सव॑॑ श्रुतचारित्रसंयुतम् । भावेनातोषयच्चैनं गुरुवृत्त्या परंतप:
upapannaṃ ca tat sarvaṃ śrutacāritrasaṃyutam | bhāvenātoṣayac cainaṃ guruvṛttyā paraṃtapaḥ ||
ເມື່ອເຫັນວ່າລະສີນັ້ນມີຄຸນສົມບັດຄົບຖ້ວນ—ຄວາມຮູ້ອັນຕັ້ງຢູ່ໃນການຟັງຄຳສັກສິດ ແລະຊີວິດທີ່ມີວິໄນ—ກາສະຍະປະ, ຜູ້ເຜົາຜານສັດຕູ, ກໍເຂົ້າໄປຫາຕາມຄວາມຄວນ. ດ້ວຍຄວາມເລື່ອມໃສຈາກໃຈ ແລະການປະພຶດຕົນຕາມທຳນຽມຕໍ່ຄູອາຈານ, ລາວໄດ້ຮັບໃຊ້ ແລະເຮັດໃຫ້ມະຫາວິນຍານຜູ້ສຳເລັດນັ້ນພໍໃຈ.

Educational Q&A
Spiritual worth is measured by learning joined to upright conduct, and a disciple progresses through sincere inner devotion (bhāva) expressed as respectful service and proper teacher-oriented conduct (guru-vṛtti).
Kāśyapa encounters an accomplished sage, recognizes his qualifications (learning and character), accepts him as a guru, serves him with devotion, and thereby satisfies the sage.
