Nāmānirukta of Nārāyaṇa (Keśava–Viṣṇu–Vāsudeva) and the Rudra–Nārāyaṇa Unity Theme

te 'nujñātās tataḥ sarve guruṇā satyavādinā | jagmuḥ pradakṣiṇaṃ kṛtvā vyāsaṃ mūrdhnābhivādya ca ||
Тогда, получив дозволение от своего правдивого учителя, все ученики склонились, припав головами к его стопам. Затем они с почтением обошли Вьясу по кругу и покинули то место.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct in the guru–śiṣya relationship: one should act only after receiving the teacher’s permission, and one should express gratitude and humility through respectful salutation and pradakṣiṇā—especially toward revered elders like Vyāsa.
After being granted leave by their truth-speaking guru, the disciples bow at his feet, then circumambulate and salute Vyāsa, and finally depart—marking a formal, respectful conclusion to their audience.
