ഗുരു പറഞ്ഞു— “ആനന്ദാ, നീ ഇങ്ങനെ എവിടെ നിന്നാണ് പറയുന്നത്? നീ പറയുന്ന ‘ചൈത്രൻ’ ആരാണ്? വലിയൊരു ഭയം പ്രത്യക്ഷമാകുന്നു— നീ എവിടെയാണ് ജനിച്ചത്? നീ യഥാർത്ഥത്തിൽ എന്താണ് പറയുന്നത്?”

FAQs
The guru models dharmic investigation: when duties depend on facts, one must inquire carefully rather than act on assumptions.
Didactic narrative (ācāra) framed as dialogue; not a pancalakṣaṇa core topic.
