Strī-dharma: Śiva’s Inquiry, Umā’s Consultation, and Gaṅgā’s Instruction
श्रूयतां चापरं गुहां रहस्यं धर्मसंहितम् । श्रद्दधानेन कर्तव्यं गुरूणां वचनं सदा,अब दूसरी धर्मयुक्त गोपनीय रहस्यकी बात सुनो। सदा श्रद्धापूर्वक गुरुजनोंकी आज्ञाका पालन करना चाहिये
śrūyatāṃ cāparaṃ guhyaṃ rahasyaṃ dharmasaṃhitam | śraddadhānena kartavyaṃ gurūṇāṃ vacanaṃ sadā ||
且听我再说一则秘教——与法（Dharma）相应的内在教义。人当常怀信心与敬信，恒常奉行长者与师长之言与教诲。

Educational Q&A
A dharma-consistent ‘secret’ is emphasized: one should, with śraddhā (faithful trust), always follow the instruction (vacana) of one’s gurus/elders—treating their guidance as a binding ethical duty (kartavya).
The speaker, Lokaśa, introduces a further confidential instruction framed as a dharmic principle, directing the listener toward continual, faith-based adherence to the counsel and commands of teachers and elders.
