tāṃ kathāṃ kauśiko rāme nivedya kuśikātmajaḥ | punar evāparaṃ vākyaṃ kākutstha idam abravīt || 1.38.1 ||
ਉਹ ਕਥਾ ਰਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਣਾ ਕੇ, ਕੁਸ਼ਿਕ ਵੰਸ਼ਜ ਕੌਸ਼ਿਕ ਨੇ ਕਾਕੁਤਸਥ ਨੂੰ ਸੰਬੋਧਨ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਫਿਰ ਹੋਰ ਬਚਨ ਕਹੇ।
Viswamitra, an offspring of Kusika having related the story (of Karthikeya) to the son of the Kakusthas (Rama) said again.
Dharma of instruction: sacred history is transmitted responsibly from a qualified teacher to a worthy listener for moral formation.
Viśvāmitra concludes one episode and transitions to the next, continuing his teaching narrative to Rāma.
Attentive discipleship and authoritative teaching: Rāma listens; Viśvāmitra guides through instructive history.
