ഋഷിമാർ പറഞ്ഞു—താതാ! ഞങ്ങൾ നിന്റെ വാക്കുകൾ കേൾക്കും; എല്ലാ പാതകളും നിനക്കു പരിചിതമാണ്. ധർമാത്മാവേ! നിന്റെ നിയോഗത്തിനടിയിൽ നിലകൊള്ളാൻ ഞങ്ങൾ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നു; ഞങ്ങളെ ഉപദേശിക്കൂ.

Educational Q&A

Those seeking dharma should approach a recognized knower of the ‘paths’ (right courses of action) with humility and readiness to follow guidance; ethical life is sustained by disciplined receptivity to instruction.

A group of sages address a righteous person, affirming his discernment of the proper paths and expressing their willingness to act under his directive; they request explicit instruction on what they should do.
