Haristuti-saṅgraha: Devatā–Ṛṣi Praṇāma, Nāma-māhātmya, and Vairāgya from Deha-āsakti
एवं स्तुत्वा ह्यत्रिरपितूष्णीमास तदा खग / तदनन्तरजः स्तोतुमङ्गिरा वाक्यमब्रवीत्
evaṃ stutvā hyatrirapitūṣṇīmāsa tadā khaga / tadanantarajaḥ stotumaṅgirā vākyamabravīt
अशा प्रकारे स्तुती करून अत्रीही, हे खगा, तेव्हा मौन झाले। त्यानंतर क्रमाने जन्मलेले अङ्गिरा स्तवन करण्यासाठी वचन बोलू लागले।

FAQs
This verse shows the orderly succession of sages offering hymns, framing the teaching context with reverence and establishing the authority of the discourse.
It does not describe the soul’s journey directly; instead, it marks a narrative transition—after Atri’s praise ends, Aṅgiras begins—often preceding doctrinal instruction elsewhere in the chapter.
Maintain humility and orderly conduct in sacred study: listen fully, speak at the right time, and approach spiritual teachings with reverence.
