Sinabi ni Mārkaṇḍeya: “Ang lahat ng iyong sinabi ay naaayon sa katarungan at matuwid na pangangatwiran. Tunay nga, sa mga bagay tungkol sa dharma rito, wala akong nakikitang anumang hindi mo nalalaman.”

Educational Q&A
True understanding of dharma is shown by speech that is nyāya-yukta—grounded in justice and coherent reasoning; the verse praises such clarity and suggests that genuine ethical insight leaves little ‘unknown’ in the immediate question of duty.
Mārkaṇḍeya responds to the interlocutor’s prior statement, affirming that what was said is just and well-reasoned, and acknowledging the speaker’s evident competence in dharma—setting a respectful tone for further instruction or dialogue.
