Shloka 27
Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
त्रैकालिकमिद ज्ञान प्रादुर्भूत॑ यथेप्सितम् । तच्छुणुध्वं यथान्यायं वक्ष्ये संशयमुत्तमम्
traikālikam idaṁ jñānaṁ prādurbhūtaṁ yathepsitam | tac chṛṇudhvaṁ yathānyāyaṁ vakṣye saṁśayam uttamam ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: “Tri thức về ba thời—quá khứ, hiện tại và tương lai—đã hiển lộ nơi ta đúng như điều ta mong cầu. Vậy hãy lắng nghe chăm chú, theo đúng phép tắc; ta sẽ tuyên bày lời quyết định tối thượng, dẹp tan mọi nghi hoặc.”
