Shloka 28
कालनिर्णयः, युगधर्मवर्णनम्, सृष्टिक्रमश्च
Time-Reckoning, Yuga-Dharma, and the Sequence of Creation
कौमारमेव ते चित्त तथैवाद्य यथा पुरा । समवेक्षस्व मघवनू् बुद्धि विन्दस्व नैपष्ठेकीम्
kaumāram eva te cittaṃ tathaivādya yathā purā | samavekṣasva maghavan buddhiṃ vindasva naiṣṭhikīm ||
Sabi ni Śakra (Indra): “Ang isip mo’y nananatiling parang sa bata—ngayon ay gaya rin ng dati. O Maghavan, titigan mong mabuti ang katotohanang ito at kamtin ang matatag at ganap na pag-unawa.”

Educational Q&A
The core teaching is self-scrutiny leading to maturity: recognize childish mental habits and cultivate naiṣṭhikī buddhi—steady, settled discernment that supports ethical clarity and restraint.
Śakra (Indra) addresses someone using the epithet “Maghavan,” admonishing that the person’s mind remains immature and instructing them to examine themselves carefully and attain firm, established understanding.
