Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
नारायणाद् वरं लब्ध्वा प्राप्प योगमनुत्तमम् । क्रमं प्रणीय शिक्षां च प्रणयित्वा स गालव:
nārāyaṇād varaṁ labdhvā prāpya yogam anuttamam | kramaṁ praṇīya śikṣāṁ ca praṇayitvā sa gālavaḥ ||
नारायणाद् वरं लब्ध्वा प्राप्य योगमनुत्तमम्। क्रमं प्रणीय शिक्षां च प्रणयित्वा स गालवः॥ एवं स वेदस्य क्रमविधौ परिनिष्ठितानां मध्येऽग्र्यः, क्रमविभागपारगश्च बभूव।

Educational Q&A
True spiritual attainment (anuttama-yoga) is meant to mature into dharmic service: preserving, clarifying, and transmitting sacred knowledge with precision. The verse links devotion to Nārāyaṇa with responsible scholarship—showing that inner realization and outer discipline in learning support each other.
The text praises the sage Gālava: after receiving a boon from Nārāyaṇa and attaining supreme yoga, he systematizes Vedic sequencing (krama) and composes Śikṣā (phonetics). He is presented as an early or foremost authority in these ordered methods of Vedic study.
