毗湿摩说道：“阇那迦王见到‘迦毗罗之子’所显现的洞见，心生深切倾慕；于是舍下自己那百位师长，追随其后而去。”

Educational Q&A
True knowledge is recognized by its clarity and transformative power, not by the prestige or number of one’s instructors. A sincere seeker like Janaka is willing to relinquish conventional supports—even many teachers—when authentic insight is encountered.
Bhīṣma narrates that King Janaka, impressed by the wisdom he perceived in Kāpileya (Pañcaśikha, associated with Kapila’s lineage), leaves his hundred teachers and follows that sage, indicating a decisive turn toward a more compelling source of spiritual instruction.
