Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
इदं महर्षेर्वचनं विनिश्चितं महात्मन: पुरुषवरस्य कीर्तितम् । समागमं॑ चर्षिदिवौकसामिमं निशम्य भक्ता: सुसुखं लभन्ते
idam maharṣer vacanaṁ viniścitaṁ mahātmanaḥ puruṣavarasya kīrtitam | samāgamaṁ cārṣidivaukasām imaṁ niśamya bhaktāḥ susukhaṁ labhante ||
ଏହା ମହର୍ଷି—ମହାତ୍ମା ପୁରୁଷପ୍ରବର—ଙ୍କର ବିନିଶ୍ଚିତ, ସିଦ୍ଧାନ୍ତଭୂତ ବଚନ ବୋଲି କୀର୍ତ୍ତିତ। ଏବଂ ଋଷିମାନଙ୍କ ଓ ଦେବମାନଙ୍କର ଏହି ସମାଗମର ବୃତ୍ତାନ୍ତ ଶୁଣି ଭକ୍ତଜନ ଉତ୍ତମ ସୁଖ ଲଭନ୍ତି।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
That a definitive, well-ascertained dharmic teaching—especially when received through devoted listening—yields inner happiness and spiritual benefit. The verse highlights śravaṇa as an ethical-spiritual practice: hearing true instruction refines understanding and supports right conduct.
Vaiśampāyana concludes or commends a section by affirming that the sage’s settled teaching has been proclaimed, and that the account of an assembly involving ṛṣis and the gods has been related; those who listen with devotion gain excellent happiness.
