FAQs
This verse shows the Purāṇic method of transmitting dharma through reverential praise, where successive sages offer stuti to establish authority and continuity of teaching.
Indirectly: it frames a teaching sequence by naming revered figures; such narrative transitions often precede doctrinal sections about dharma, karma, and post-death order.
Maintain disciplined speech and reverence in spiritual study—listen after offering prayer, and approach teachings in a respectful sequence rather than hurriedly.
