वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights dharma as a preserved and authoritative teaching transmitted through a venerable lineage. Ethical instruction is portrayed as something to be received from qualified elders and passed onward intact, reinforcing continuity and legitimacy.
Vaiśampāyana narrates a succession of instruction: Dakṣa imparts the doctrine of dharma to his eldest grandson Āditya (associated with Savitṛ), and from Āditya the Sun-god Vivasvān receives that teaching.
