Uttaṅka
Scene: A young brahmacārin Uttaṅka stands with folded hands before sage Gautama in a forest hermitage, requesting permission to offer a token of gratitude; the atmosphere is calm, reverent, and intimate.
Knowledge is perfected through humility; gratitude seeks expression through giving, not mere words.
No; the verse is a personal dharma exchange within the Arbuda-khaṇḍa narrative.
The implied prescription is guru-dakṣiṇā—an offering to the teacher as closure to study.
