Narrator (Purāṇic narrator; specific speaker not identifiable from the excerpt)
True reform begins when fear of sin turns into humble seeking of guidance from the wise.
The broader setting remains Gokarṇa, but this verse focuses on approaching a spiritual authority.
Seeking counsel (upadeśa) from a qualified brāhmaṇa/teacher is implied.
