Reconciliation of Action and Knowledge: Offering All Acts to Nārāyaṇa and the Hymn to the Yajña-Puruṣa
एवं तौ संशयच्छेदं प्राप्तौ रैभ्यवसू नृप । बृहस्पतेस्ततो धिष्ण्याज्जग्मतुर्निजमाश्रमम् ॥ ५.४१ ॥
evaṃ tau saṃśayacchedaṃ prāptau raibhyavasū nṛpa | bṛhaspatestato dhiṣṇyājjagmaturnijamāśramam || 5.41 ||
ดังนี้ โอพระราชา ไรภยะและวสุทั้งสองได้บรรลุการตัดความสงสัยแล้ว จากนั้นจึงออกจากที่ประทับอันศักดิ์สิทธิ์ของพระพฤหัสบดี และไปสู่อาศรมของตน

FAQs
It preserves a common Purāṇic narrative pattern in which inquiry is resolved through authoritative instruction (here associated with Bṛhaspati), reflecting the text’s role as a didactic archive of cultural memory and pedagogical scenes.
No explicit terrestrial place-name is given; the verse mentions Bṛhaspati’s “dhiṣṇya” (sacred seat/abode) and the protagonists’ “āśrama” (hermitage), which function as institutional-cultural locations rather than a clearly mappable toponym.
The passage foregrounds an epistemic ethic: doubts should be clarified through disciplined inquiry and learned counsel, after which one returns to one’s proper station of practice (āśrama) with resolved understanding.
