धर्मस्य बहुद्वारत्वम् — Nārada’s Audience with Indra (Śānti-parva 340)
सौतिर्वाच एतत् ते सर्वमाख्यातं वैशम्पायन कीर्तितम्
Sautir uvāca—etat te sarvam ākhyātaṃ Vaiśampāyana-kīrtitam.
ສູຕິກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ຊາວນະກະ! ຂ້າໄດ້ເລົ່າໃຫ້ເຈົ້າຟັງຄົບຖ້ວນແລ້ວ ກ່ຽວກັບນິທານທັງໝົດນີ້ ດັ່ງທີ່ ໄວຊັມປາຍະນະ ໄດ້ກ່າວໄວ້. ເມື່ອພຣະຣາຊາ ຈະນະເມຊະຍະ ໄດ້ຟັງແລ້ວ ກໍໄດ້ບຳເນີນພິທີບູຊາ ແລະ ຍັດຍະພິທີ ແດ່ພຣະເຈົ້າ ຕາມວິທີທີ່ສູງສຸດອັນຖືກຕ້ອງ. ພວກເຈົ້າກໍເປັນນັກບຳເນີນຕະປະ ໝັ້ນຄົງໃນຕະປະ ແລະ ຊື່ສັດຕໍ່ວຣະຕະ».

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes faithful transmission of sacred teaching and the ethical importance of responding to wisdom with proper practice—here, hearing the narrative leads to disciplined, rule-governed worship and the honoring of ascetic vows.
Sauti concludes a segment by telling Śaunaka that he has fully repeated what Vaiśampāyana had recited; he notes that Janamejaya, after hearing it, performed a proper sacrificial worship, and he acknowledges the ascetic, vow-keeping nature of the listening sages.
