जनकाय नरेंद्राय व्याख्याय च ततः परम् । कात्यायनं सुतं प्राप्य वेदसूत्रस्य कारकम्
janakāya nareṃdrāya vyākhyāya ca tataḥ param | kātyāyanaṃ sutaṃ prāpya vedasūtrasya kārakam
Sau đó, Ngài giảng giải điều ấy cho vua Janaka, bậc chúa tể giữa loài người; rồi gặp Kātyāyana, người con của Ngài—đấng soạn tác các Veda-sūtra.
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator within Nāgarakhaṇḍa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis (Naimiṣāraṇya setting implied by Sūta-ṛṣi frame)
Scene: A sage expounds sacred doctrine to King Janaka in a royal-forest liminal setting; afterward he meets Kātyāyana, portrayed as a youthful sūtra-composer holding palm-leaf manuscripts, with a subtle aura of Vedic fire-light.
True learning flows into public instruction—guiding rulers and shaping disciplined scripture through sūtra tradition.
No single tirtha is named in this verse; it continues the chapter’s sacred narrative linking tirtha-merit to Vedic transmission.
None; it describes dissemination of teaching (vyākhyā) and the formation of sūtra-based Vedic discipline.
