कुन्ती–व्याससंवादः
Kuntī–Vyāsa Dialogue on Durvāsā’s Boon and Karṇa’s Birth
गुरुशुश्रूषया चैव जननी ते जनाधिप । प्राप्ता सुमहतीं सिद्धिमिति मे नात्र संशय:
guruśuśrūṣayā caiva jananī te janādhipa | prāptā sumahatīṁ siddhim iti me nātra saṁśayaḥ ||
Wika ni Nārada: “O tagapamahala ng mga tao, ang iyong ina na si Kuntī Devī ay nagkamit ng napakadakilang katuparang espirituwal sa pamamagitan ng tapat na paglilingkod sa mga nakatatanda at mga guro. Dito, wala akong alinlangan.”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Reverent service to gurus and elders (guruśuśrūṣā) is presented as a powerful dharmic practice that yields profound spiritual attainment (siddhi), emphasizing humility, gratitude, and disciplined conduct.
Narada addresses the king and affirms that the king’s mother, Kunti, has achieved a great spiritual state, attributing her success to her devoted service to venerable elders/teachers, and he states his certainty about this.
