Shloka 27
अग्नीषोमोत्पत्तिः
Agni–Soma Origin and the Brahmāgnīṣomīya Doctrine
शुकस्यैतद् वच: श्रुत्वा व्यास: परमविस्मित: । अनध्यायनिमित्तेडस्मिन्निदं वचनमब्रवीत्
śukasyaitad vacaḥ śrutvā vyāsaḥ paramavismitaḥ | anadhyāya-nimitte 'sminn idaṃ vacanam abravīt ||
Bhishma nói: Nghe lời ấy của Shuka, Vyasa vô cùng kinh ngạc. Rồi, với ý định làm sáng tỏ nguyên do và ý nghĩa của “anadhyāya” (sự đình chỉ việc học Veda), ngài nói những lời sau đây.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames an ethical-ritual principle: Vedic study is not merely continuous recitation but is governed by dharma-based rules. ‘Anadhyāya’ indicates that there are legitimate occasions when study must be paused, and Vyāsa is about to explain the rationale—linking learning to discipline, purity, and proper context.
Bhīṣma narrates that Śuka has spoken something that surprises Vyāsa. In response, Vyāsa prepares to explain the specific ‘nimitta’ (cause) behind anadhyāya—setting up the next passage where he clarifies why and when study is to be suspended.
