Uttaṅka’s Petition for Madayantī’s Divine Earrings (Maṇikuṇḍala) — Agreement, Proof, and Vigilance
कि त्वद्य यदि ते श्रद्धा गमनं॑ प्रति भार्गव । अनुज्ञां प्रतिगृहा त्वं स््वगृहान् गच्छ मा चिरम्
kiṃ tv adya yadi te śraddhā gamanaṃ prati bhārgava | anu-jñāṃ pratigṛhya tvaṃ svagṛhān gaccha mā ciram, bhṛgunandana ||
Wika ni Gautama: “Ngunit kung ngayong araw ay tunay ang iyong pasya na umalis, O Bhārgava, ligaya ng angkan ni Bhṛgu, tanggapin mo ang aking pahintulot at bumalik ka sa iyong tahanan nang walang pag-aantala.”

Educational Q&A
Even when one wishes to depart, dharmic conduct emphasizes clarity of intention and respectful procedure—accepting the elder’s/host’s consent (anujñā) and leaving without unnecessary delay or disruption.
Gautama addresses a Bhārgava sage and, seeing his desire to leave, grants him formal permission and instructs him to return home promptly, using honorific lineage-based epithets.
