नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
ततो विददह्ुमानोऊहं प्रविष्टो5म्भस्तदानघ । अविज्ञानादमर्षाच्च भास्करस्य महात्मन:
tato vidadahumāno ’haṁ praviṣṭo ’mbhas tadānagha | avijñānād amarṣāc ca bhāskarasya mahātmanaḥ ||
त्यानंतर, हे निष्पाप! मी अंतर्दाहाने जळत जळत पाण्यात शिरलो. महात्मा भास्कराची महिमा न कळणे आणि माझ्यात सहनशीलतेचा अभाव—यांमुळे त्या वेळी मला अत्यंत यातना झाल्या.

Educational Q&A
Ignorance of another’s true greatness and the absence of forbearance lead to needless suffering; ethical maturity requires understanding (jñāna) and patience (kṣamā/amarṣa-tyāga).
Yājñavalkya describes a moment of intense distress—feeling as if burning—after which he enters water; he attributes his suffering to not recognizing Bhāskara’s greatness and to his own intolerance.
