Marks of the Debt-Bound/Enemy Son, Filial Dharma, Detachment, and the Durvāsā–Dharma Episode
एवं शापत्रयं दत्त्वा गतोसौ द्विजसत्तमः । अनेनापि प्रसंगेन दृष्टो धर्मः पुरा किल
evaṃ śāpatrayaṃ dattvā gatosau dvijasattamaḥ | anenāpi prasaṃgena dṛṣṭo dharmaḥ purā kila
ఇలా త్రివిధ శాపాన్ని ఇచ్చి ఆ ద్విజసత్తముడు వెళ్లిపోయాడు. ఈ సంఘటన ద్వారానే, పూర్వకాలంలో ధర్మం ప్రత్యక్షంగా దర్శనమిచ్చిందని చెప్పబడుతుంది.
