Educational Q&A

The verse emphasizes the ethical and cultural ideal of preserving sacred knowledge through an authentic teacher–student lineage: a qualified teacher transmits, and a worthy, intelligent recipient receives and carries it forward.

Śarva recounts a succession of instruction: Aṅgiras teaches his son Bṛhaspati, and Bṛhaspati then teaches the sage Āgniveśya, establishing a chain of authoritative transmission.
