नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
ततो विददह्ुमानोऊहं प्रविष्टो5म्भस्तदानघ । अविज्ञानादमर्षाच्च भास्करस्य महात्मन:
tato vidadahumāno ’haṁ praviṣṭo ’mbhas tadānagha | avijñānād amarṣāc ca bhāskarasya mahātmanaḥ ||
Pagkatapos, O walang kasalanan, ako—na nag-aalab sa init sa kalooban—ay lumusong sa tubig. Noon ay labis ang aking pagdurusa, sapagkat hindi ko naunawaan ang kadakilaan ng marangal na Bhāskara, at sapagkat kulang ako sa pagtitimpi at pagpipigil sa sarili.
याज़्ञवल्क्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Ignorance of another’s true greatness and the absence of forbearance lead to needless suffering; ethical maturity requires understanding (jñāna) and patience (kṣamā/amarṣa-tyāga).
Yājñavalkya describes a moment of intense distress—feeling as if burning—after which he enters water; he attributes his suffering to not recognizing Bhāskara’s greatness and to his own intolerance.
