अध्वर्यु–यति संवादः
Adhvaryu–Yati Dialogue on Svabhāva, Ahiṃsā, and Mokṣa
अत्राप्युदाहरन्तीममितिहासं पुरातनम् । अध्वर्युयतिसंवादं तं निबोध यशस्विनि,यशस्विनि! इस विषयमें अध्वर्यु और यतिके संवादरूप प्राचीन इतिहासका उदाहरण दिया जाता है, तुम उसे सुनो
atrāpy udāharantīmam itihāsaṁ purātanam | adhvaryu-yati-saṁvādaṁ taṁ nibodha yaśasvini ||
在此亦有人援引一则古老的先例作为譬喻。请听吧，尊贵的夫人——那旧事乃是阿德瓦律祭官与苦行者耶提之间的对话，用以阐明此事及其道义旨趣。

Educational Q&A
Moral questions are clarified by appealing to authoritative precedent: an ancient illustrative story (itihāsa) is introduced so that the listener can grasp the ethical point through a concrete dialogue between ritual duty (Adhvaryu) and ascetic restraint (Yati).
The Brahmin speaker announces that an old traditional account will be cited as an example and invites the addressed woman (“yaśasvinī”) to listen carefully to the forthcoming dialogue between the Adhvaryu priest and the ascetic Yati.
