Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
मयि चेदस्ति ते प्रीतिर्नित्यं कुरुकुलोद्वह । अध्यात्ममेतच्छुत्वा त्वं सम्यगाचर सुव्रत
mayi ced asti te prītir nityaṁ kurukulodvaha | adhyātmam etac chrutvā tvaṁ samyag āchara suvrata ||
वायुदेव म्हणाले—हे कुरुकुलश्रेष्ठ, जर माझ्याविषयी तुझी नित्य प्रीती व श्रद्धा असेल, तर हे अध्यात्मतत्त्व ऐकून तू उत्तम व्रतधारीप्रमाणे याचे योग्य व निरंतर आचरण कर.
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Devotion is validated through conduct: if the listener truly reveres Vāyu, they must not merely hear adhyātma (inner spiritual knowledge) but practice it correctly and continuously, with disciplined commitment.
Vāyu addresses a Kuru scion and frames his instruction as a test of sincerity: the recipient’s love and respect should manifest as steady, proper observance of the adhyātma teaching just imparted.
