The Dialogue between Rukmāṅgada and Dharmāṅgada
आनंदं ब्रह्मणो रूपं शतानंदः सुतेन यः । पिता भवति चार्वंगि सत्कर्मकरणैः शुभैः ॥ ४७ ॥
ānaṃdaṃ brahmaṇo rūpaṃ śatānaṃdaḥ sutena yaḥ | pitā bhavati cārvaṃgi satkarmakaraṇaiḥ śubhaiḥ || 47 ||
Kebahagiaan (ānanda) sesungguhnya ialah rupa Brahman. Wahai wanita yang elok anggota, seseorang menjadi bapa kepada putera bernama Śatānanda melalui amalan kebajikan yang suci dan bertuah (sat‑karma).

No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana or Jyotisha) is taught directly; the practical takeaway is karmic discipline—performing satkarmas (ritual-ethical duties) as prescribed by dharma-shastra traditions.
