Shloka 27
अग्नीषोमोत्पत्तिः
Agni–Soma Origin and the Brahmāgnīṣomīya Doctrine
शुकस्यैतद् वच: श्रुत्वा व्यास: परमविस्मित: । अनध्यायनिमित्तेडस्मिन्निदं वचनमब्रवीत्,शुकदेवजीका यह वचन सुनकर व्यासजी अत्यन्त आश्चर्यसे चकित हो उठे और अनध्यायके कारणपर प्रकाश डालते हुए इस प्रकार बोले--
śukasyaitad vacaḥ śrutvā vyāsaḥ paramavismitaḥ | anadhyāya-nimitte 'sminn idaṃ vacanam abravīt ||
Bhishma berkata: Mendengar kata-kata Shuka itu, Vyasa amat terperanjat. Lalu, dengan maksud menjelaskan sebab dan makna “anadhyāya” (penggantungan pengajian Veda), beliau berkata seperti berikut.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames an ethical-ritual principle: Vedic study is not merely continuous recitation but is governed by dharma-based rules. ‘Anadhyāya’ indicates that there are legitimate occasions when study must be paused, and Vyāsa is about to explain the rationale—linking learning to discipline, purity, and proper context.
Bhīṣma narrates that Śuka has spoken something that surprises Vyāsa. In response, Vyāsa prepares to explain the specific ‘nimitta’ (cause) behind anadhyāya—setting up the next passage where he clarifies why and when study is to be suspended.
