Shloka 43
ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā
श्रद्धेयः कथितो हार्थ: सज्जनश्रवर्ण गत: । चिरं तिष्ठति मेदिन्यां शैले लेख्यामिवार्पितम्
śraddheyaḥ kathito hārthaḥ sajjanaśravaṇa-gataḥ | ciraṁ tiṣṭhati medinyāṁ śaile lekhyeva ārpitaḥ ||
వాయువు అన్నాడు—శ్రద్ధకు పాత్రమైన మాట ఒకసారి పలికబడి సజ్జనుల చెవులకు చేరితే, అది భూమిపై దీర్ఘకాలం నిలుస్తుంది—రాతిపై చెక్కిన లేఖనంలా.

Vāyudeva addresses great seers, praising their divine presence and briefly noting his own unobstructed knowledge and power; he then emphasizes that even beyond divine perception, the testimony preserved among noble people remains stable and long-lasting.
