Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
इक्ष्वाकुके उपदेशसे इस सात्वत धर्मका सम्पूर्ण जगतमें प्रचार और प्रसार हो गया। नरेश्वर! कल्पान्तमें यह धर्म फिर भगवान् नारायणको ही प्राप्त हो जायगा ।।
Vaishampāyana uvāca | Ikṣvāku-ke upadeśa se asya Sātvata-dharmasya sampūrṇa-jagate pracāraḥ prasāraś ca abhavat | Nareśvara! kalpānte ayaṃ dharmaḥ punaḥ Bhagavantaṃ Nārāyaṇam eva prāpsyati || Yatīnāṃ cāpi yo dharmaḥ sa te pūrvaṃ nṛpottama kathito Hari-gītāsu samāsa-vidhi-kalpitaḥ ||
ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂດຍອາໄສຄຳສອນຂອງ ອິກສະວາກຸ, ທຳມະສາດວະຕະນີ້ ໄດ້ຖືກປະກາດ ແລະແຜ່ຂະຫຍາຍໄປທົ່ວໂລກ. ໂອ ພຣະມະຫາກະສັດ, ໃນທ້າຍກະລະປະ (kalpānta) ທຳມະນີ້ຈະກັບໄປຫາ ພຣະພະຄະວານ ນາຣາຍະນະ ແຕ່ພຣະອົງດຽວ. ແລະສ່ວນວິໄນຂອງຜູ້ສະຫຼະໂລກ (ຍະຕີ), ໂອ ກະສັດຜູ້ປະເສີດ, ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າໄດ້ອະທິບາຍໃຫ້ພຣະອົງຟັງແຕ່ກ່ອນແລ້ວ ໃນ ‘ບົດເພງແຫ່ງ ຮະຣິ’ ໂດຍວິທີສະຫຼຸບຢ່າງກະຊັບ».

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that a sacred ethical-devotional tradition (Sātvata dharma) spreads through authoritative instruction, yet ultimately belongs to and returns to Nārāyaṇa at the end of cosmic time; it also points to a previously given concise teaching on the renunciants’ code (yati-dharma).
Vaiśampāyana, continuing his narration to the king, notes the historical dissemination of Sātvata dharma from Ikṣvāku’s teaching and reminds the listener that he has already summarized the discipline of ascetics in an earlier ‘Hari-gītā’ section.
