Vṛṣotsarga (Bull-Release Gift): Procedure, Merit, and Narratives on Dharma, Karma, and Liberation

Devanagari script

वदिष्यति समग्रं ते स्वयं वक्तुं न साम्प्रतम् / सामन्तः सर्ववेदज्ञो ज्ञात्वा हार्दं नृपस्य च

Transliteration

vadiṣyati samagraṃ te svayaṃ vaktuṃ na sāmpratam / sāmantaḥ sarvavedajño jñātvā hārdaṃ nṛpasya ca

Translation

അവൻ നിന്നോട് എല്ലാം സമഗ്രമായി പറയും; ഇപ്പോൾ ഞാൻ തന്നെ പറയുന്നത് യുക്തമല്ല. രാജഹൃദയത്തിലെ ആശയം അറിഞ്ഞ, സർവ്വവേദജ്ഞനായ സാമന്ത-സേവകൻ പറയും.

FAQs

This verse highlights adhikāra (fitness/appropriateness): certain teachings are conveyed by the right speaker at the right time, preserving accuracy and dharmic propriety.

Indirectly: it frames a transition in narration—someone else will deliver the complete account—often used in the Purana to introduce detailed explanations of post-death matters with proper authority.

Seek guidance on rites and ethics from competent teachers/texts, and communicate sensitive spiritual topics with timing, context, and responsibility.
