Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
इदं सत्यं द्विजातीनां साधूनामात्मजस्य च । सुहृदां च जपेत् कर्णे शिष्यस्यानुगतस्य च,इस सत्य सिद्धान्तको ब्राह्मण आदि द्विजों, साधु पुरुषों, पुत्र, सुहृदों, शिष्यवर्ग तथा अपने अनुगत मनुष्योंके कानमें कहना चाहिये
idaṃ satyaṃ dvijātīnāṃ sādhūnām ātmajasya ca | suhṛdāṃ ca japet karṇe śiṣyasyānugatasya ca ||
Pulastya nói: “Chân lý này nên được truyền dạy khẽ khàng—như thì thầm bên tai—cho người ‘hai lần sinh’, cho bậc hiền thiện, cho con trai mình, cho bạn hữu thân tín, và cho người đệ tử tận tâm, vâng lời.”
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
A true principle should be shared with discernment: it is to be conveyed privately and respectfully to qualified, trustworthy recipients—virtuous people, one’s son, close well-wishers, and an obedient disciple—rather than broadcast indiscriminately.
Pulastya, speaking as an authoritative sage, gives an instruction about how sacred or ethically weighty truth is to be transmitted—by quiet recitation/whispering into the ear—emphasizing controlled dissemination within trusted relationships.
