Uttaṅka’s Petition for Madayantī’s Divine Earrings (Maṇikuṇḍala) — Agreement, Proof, and Vigilance
कि त्वद्य यदि ते श्रद्धा गमनं॑ प्रति भार्गव । अनुज्ञां प्रतिगृहा त्वं स््वगृहान् गच्छ मा चिरम्
kiṃ tv adya yadi te śraddhā gamanaṃ prati bhārgava | anu-jñāṃ pratigṛhya tvaṃ svagṛhān gaccha mā ciram, bhṛgunandana ||
Gautama nói: “Nhưng nếu hôm nay con thật sự có quyết tâm ra đi, hỡi Bhārgava, niềm vui của dòng Bhṛgu, thì hãy nhận lấy sự cho phép của ta và trở về nhà mình, chớ chần chừ.”

Educational Q&A
Even when one wishes to depart, dharmic conduct emphasizes clarity of intention and respectful procedure—accepting the elder’s/host’s consent (anujñā) and leaving without unnecessary delay or disruption.
Gautama addresses a Bhārgava sage and, seeing his desire to leave, grants him formal permission and instructs him to return home promptly, using honorific lineage-based epithets.
