Shloka 10
नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
तदनन्तर मुझे तापसे दग्ध होता देख भगवान् सूर्यने कहा--'“तात! तुम दो घड़ीतक इस तापको सहन करो। फिर यह स्वयं ही शीतल एवं शान्त हो जायगा” ।।
tad-anantaraṁ māṁ tāpasena dagdhaṁ hotaṁ dṛṣṭvā bhagavān sūrya uvāca— “tāta! tvaṁ dve ghaṭike tāvat imaṁ tāpaṁ sahiṣyase; tataḥ svayam eva śītalaṁ śāntaṁ ca bhaviṣyati.” śītībhūtaṁ ca māṁ dṛṣṭvā bhagavān āha bhāskaraḥ— “pratiṣṭhāsyati te vedaḥ sakhilaḥ sottaro dvija.”
Depois disso, vendo-me abrasado pelo ardor ascético, o bendito Sol disse: «Meu filho, suporta este calor por duas ghaṭikās; então, por si mesmo, ele se tornará fresco e sereno.» Quando eu já estava completamente arrefecido, o divino Bhāskara, ao ver-me, declarou: «Ó duas-vezes-nascido, o Veda inteiro—completo, juntamente com o seu ‘uttara’ (as Upaniṣads, as porções culminantes)—firmar-se-á dentro de ti.»

Educational Q&A
Endurance and disciplined tapas lead to inner cooling (śānti) and readiness for higher knowledge; when the seeker is purified and steadied, sacred learning—up to the Upaniṣadic culmination—can become firmly established within.
Yājñavalkya describes being scorched by ascetic heat; the Sun-god instructs him to endure briefly until the heat naturally subsides. Once cooled, the Sun blesses him that the complete Veda, including its culminating teachings (uttara/Upaniṣads), will be established in him.
