Shloka 48
नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
विद्योपेतं धनं कृत्वा कर्मणा नित्यकर्मणि । एकान्तदर्शना वेदा: सर्वे विश्वावसो स्मृता:
vidyopetaṃ dhanaṃ kṛtvā karmaṇā nityakarmaṇi | ekāntadarśanā vedāḥ sarve viśvāvaso smṛtāḥ ||
阎若伐迦说道：“当以知识为真实之财；兼具探究之学（ānvīkṣikī）而积聚吠陀之学的财富，并以有纪律的精进，恒常安住于每日应行之仪轨。噢毗湿婆婆苏（Viśvāvasu）啊，一切吠陀皆被视为应以一心之见去追随的教法——通过虔敬的自习诵读（svādhyāya）与反复省思观照（manana）。”

Educational Q&A
True wealth is knowledge (vidyā). One should acquire and cultivate it, and then live it out through steady performance of daily obligatory duties (nitya-karma), while approaching the Vedas with single-pointed study and reflective contemplation.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, Yājñavalkya addresses Viśvāvasu and gives a concise directive: treat Vedic learning as one’s treasure, remain engaged in prescribed daily duties, and pursue the Vedas through focused study and inner reflection.
