सुहृन्मित्रं गुरुस्त्वं मे येन कीर्तिर्ममोद्धृता
suhṛnmitraṃ gurustvaṃ me yena kīrtirmamoddhṛtā
“تم میرے خیر خواہ، میرے دوست اور میرے گرو (استاد) ہو؛ کیونکہ تم ہی کے سبب میری شہرت بلند ہوئی ہے۔”
Indradyumna (king)
Scene: The king addresses the tortoise with affectionate reverence, as if saluting a guru; the atmosphere is warm and respectful.
Gratitude and honoring one’s benefactor as a guru is a dharmic virtue that strengthens humility and right conduct.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
None; it is an expression of reverence and gratitude.
