Shloka 14
अध्याय ९० — लोमशोपदेशः तथा तीर्थयात्रानिश्चयः
Lomaśa’s Counsel and the Resolve for Pilgrimage
वेदज्ञौ वेदविद्वांसौ वेदविद्याविदावु भौ । ईजाते क्रतुभिर्मुख्यै: पुण्यैर्भरतसत्तम,भरतश्रेष्ठ! ये दोनों मुनि वेदज्ञ, वेदके मर्मज्ञ तथा वेदविद्याके पूर्ण जानकार हैं। इन्होंने पुण्यदायक उत्तम यज्ञोंद्वारा शंकरका यजन किया है
vedajñau vedavidvāṁsau vedavidyāvidāv ubhau | ījāte kratubhir mukhyaiḥ puṇyair bharatasattama ||
Dhaumya disse: “Ó melhor dos Bhāratas, aqueles dois sábios são mestres do Veda—versados em seu sentido e plenamente hábeis nas disciplinas védicas. Por meio de sacrifícios supremos, portadores de mérito, eles adoraram Śaṅkara.”
धौम्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
True religious authority is grounded in deep Vedic knowledge and disciplined practice; worship offered through righteous, merit-producing rites is presented as a mark of spiritual credibility and dharmic conduct.
Dhaumya is describing two sages to the Bharata prince, emphasizing their qualifications as Veda-experts and noting that they have performed eminent, holy sacrifices as worship of Śaṅkara.
