Bạch bậc đại trí, trong lòng tôi đã khởi lên một mối nghi. Bạch hiền giả, vì tôi đang thỉnh hỏi, xin ngài hãy giảng giải cho tôi đúng theo chân lý—rành rẽ, đúng như thực tướng.

The verse highlights the ethical discipline of inquiry: when doubt arises, one should approach a truly wise teacher and request an explanation grounded in tattva (reality/truth), not mere opinion.
Rishabha addresses a sage renowned for wisdom, stating that a doubt has arisen in his heart and formally asks the sage to explain the matter truthfully and precisely.
