Educational Q&A

The verse emphasizes epistemic humility and ethical reliability: a dharma-teaching is strengthened when it is traced to a recognized lineage of realized seers, showing it is not mere personal opinion but received wisdom.

Yājñavalkya introduces or supports his instruction by citing his sources—Jaigīṣavya, Asita Devala, and the wise Parāśara/Vārṣapamaṇi—thereby establishing the credibility of the doctrine being taught in this section of Śānti Parva.
