Adhyāya 138: Vāyu’s Exempla on Brāhmaṇa-Prabhāva and a Cosmological Clarification
येषां धर्मश्िता बुद्धि: श्रद्दधानाश्च ये नराः । तेषां स्यादुपरदेष्टव्य: सरहस्यो महाफल:,जिनकी बुद्धि सदा धर्ममें ही लगी रहती है और जो मनुष्य परम श्रद्धालु हैं, उन्हींको इस महान् फलदायक रहस्ययुक्त धर्मका उपदेश देना चाहिये
yeṣāṃ dharma-sthitā buddhiḥ śraddadhānāś ca ye narāḥ | teṣāṃ syād upadeṣṭavyaḥ sa-rahasyo mahā-phalaḥ ||
جن لوگوں کی سمجھ ہمیشہ دھرم میں قائم رہتی ہے اور جو گہری عقیدت رکھتے ہیں—اسی طرح کے لوگوں کو یہ رازدارانہ اور عظیم پھل دینے والی دھرم-شِکشا دینی چاہیے۔

Educational Q&A
Instruction in a profound, result-bearing dharma should be given only to those who are steady in righteous understanding and possess sincere faith; receptivity and moral grounding are presented as prerequisites for receiving confidential spiritual teaching.
Maheshvara is speaking and sets a criterion for transmission: the teaching he is about to convey (or has conveyed) is described as both secret in purport and greatly fruitful, and therefore should be entrusted only to qualified, faithful listeners.
