शकुनि (हिरण्मय-पक्षी) उपदेशः — Vighasāśin and the Difficulty of Gārhasthya
ऋषय ऊचु: शृणुमस्ते वचस्तात पन्थानो विदितास्तव । नियोगे चैव धर्मात्मन् स्थातुमिच्छाम शाधि न:,ऋषि बोले--तात! हम तुम्हारी बात सुनेंगे। तुम्हें सब मार्ग विदित हैं। धर्मात्मन्! हम तुम्हारी आज्ञाके अधीन रहना चाहते हैं। तुम हमें उपदेश दो
ṛṣaya ūcuḥ | śṛṇumaste vacastāta panthāno viditāstava | niyoge caiva dharmātman sthātumicchāma śādhi naḥ |
رِشیوں نے کہا—اے عزیز! ہم تمہاری بات سنیں گے؛ تمہیں سب راہیں معلوم ہیں۔ اے صاحبِ دھرم! ہم تمہارے حکم و ہدایت کے تحت رہنا چاہتے ہیں؛ ہمیں تعلیم دو۔

Educational Q&A
Those seeking dharma should approach a recognized knower of the ‘paths’ (right courses of action) with humility and readiness to follow guidance; ethical life is sustained by disciplined receptivity to instruction.
A group of sages address a righteous person, affirming his discernment of the proper paths and expressing their willingness to act under his directive; they request explicit instruction on what they should do.
