Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
त्रैकालिकमिद ज्ञान प्रादुर्भूत॑ यथेप्सितम् । तच्छुणुध्वं यथान्यायं वक्ष्ये संशयमुत्तमम्
traikālikam idaṁ jñānaṁ prādurbhūtaṁ yathepsitam | tac chṛṇudhvaṁ yathānyāyaṁ vakṣye saṁśayam uttamam ||
Vaiśampāyana disse: “Este conhecimento dos três tempos—passado, presente e futuro—manifestou-se em mim exatamente como eu desejava. Portanto, ouvi atentamente, de modo correto e conforme à lei; enunciarei a resolução suprema que dissipa a dúvida.”
