यस्य ब्रह्मर्षय: पुण्या नित्यमासन् सभासद: । यस्य नाविदितं किंचिज्ज्ञानयज्ञेषु विद्यते,'पुण्यात्मा ब्रह्मर्षि सदा उनके सभासद रहे हैं। ज्ञानयज्ञमें कोई भी ऐसी बात नहीं है, जिसका उन्हें ज्ञान न हो
yasya brahmarṣayaḥ puṇyā nityam āsan sabhāsadaḥ | yasya nāviditaṃ kiñcij jñānayajñeṣu vidyate ||
ไวศัมปายนะกล่าวว่า— “ผู้ซึ่งมีพรหมฤๅษีผู้บริสุทธิ์เป็นสมาชิกสภาอยู่เนืองนิตย์ และในยัญแห่งญาณ—การบูชาด้วยปัญญา—ไม่มีสิ่งใดเลยที่เขามิได้รู้แจ้ง”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
True authority in dharma and governance is grounded in living proximity to realized sages and mastery of sacred knowledge. The verse praises a person whose court is continually guided by Brahmarṣis and whose understanding in matters of jñāna (spiritual and ethical wisdom) is complete—suggesting that righteous rule and right conduct depend on learned counsel and inner illumination.
Vaiśampāyana is describing (in laudatory terms) an exemplary figure whose assembly is frequented by holy Brahmarṣis. The statement functions as a credential: the person being spoken of is portrayed as fully conversant with the ‘knowledge-sacrifices’—formal settings of teaching, inquiry, and scriptural discussion—so that no point of such wisdom is unknown to him.
