āmnāyam ārṣaṁ paśyāmi yasmin vedāḥ pratiṣṭhitāḥ | taṁ vidvāṁso 'nupaśyanti brāhmaṇasyānudarśanāt ||
कपिल म्हणाला—“ज्या आर्ष आम्नायात वेद प्रतिष्ठित आहेत, तो मी पाहतो. कर्मप्रवृत्ती घडविणाऱ्या ब्राह्मणभागाच्या साक्ष्याने तो समर्थित असल्यामुळे, विद्वान त्या आर्ष उपदेशाला प्रमाण मानतात.”

Educational Q&A
Kapila affirms a hierarchy of scriptural authority: the seer-transmitted tradition (āmnāya) is trustworthy because the Vedas are grounded in it and because it is corroborated by the Brāhmaṇa portions that prescribe and explain ritual action; thus the learned accept it as pramāṇa (a valid standard).
In the didactic setting of Śānti Parva, Kapila is explaining how wise people determine what counts as authoritative dharma/ritual teaching, pointing to the continuity between Veda, Brāhmaṇa guidance, and the received seerly tradition.
