कपिल उवाच
Kapila affirms a hierarchy of scriptural authority: the seer-transmitted tradition (āmnāya) is trustworthy because the Vedas are grounded in it and because it is corroborated by the Brāhmaṇa portions that prescribe and explain ritual action; thus the learned accept it as pramāṇa (a valid standard).
In the didactic setting of Śānti Parva, Kapila is explaining how wise people determine what counts as authoritative dharma/ritual teaching, pointing to the continuity between Veda, Brāhmaṇa guidance, and the received seerly tradition.
