Trong những truyện cổ xưa, ta đã nghe rằng một đại nghiệp vô cùng sẽ được thành tựu. Nhờ sức khổ hạnh, ta cũng đã thấy biết điều ấy; đã nghe rồi, ta hiểu rõ với lòng chắc chắn.
'(Carry on) the work not only for the princes (Rama and Lakshmana) but also for the brahmins, sages, gods and others who live here.
Dharma is linked with satya (truth): the seer grounds guidance in reliable sources—tradition (śruti/purāṇa) and realized insight (tapas)—so action aligns with truth, not speculation.
The sage explains that his knowledge is not casual; he has both heard authoritative tradition and directly perceived through austerity the coming of a great mission.
Truthfulness and epistemic discipline: speaking only what is known through valid means, not mere opinion.
