अतीतं वर्तमानं च भविष्यद्वापि यद्भवेत् । न तेऽस्त्यविदितं किंचित्सर्वं जानीमहे वयम्
atītaṃ vartamānaṃ ca bhaviṣyadvāpi yadbhavet | na te'styaviditaṃ kiṃcitsarvaṃ jānīmahe vayam
கடந்தது, நிகழ்வது, இனி வரப்போவது எதுவாயினும்—உமக்கு எதுவும் அறியாததல்ல; உம்மை நாம் அனைத்தறிவோன் என அறிவோம்।
Brāhmaṇas (addressing a revered authority)

Dharma is clarified by approaching a competent authority; humility and reliance on true knowledge are praised.
The verse sits within the Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya setting; this line itself introduces the dialogue rather than naming a specific tīrtha.
None in this verse; it prepares the request for guidance that follows.
