पितृयज्ञे नारायणतत्त्वम् — The Nārāyaṇa Grounding of Ancestral Offerings
अचिरेणैव कालेन नभश्नरति चन्द्रवत् । पितृशुश्रूषया बुद्धि सम्प्राप्तोडयमनुत्तमाम्
acireṇaiva kālena nabhaś carati candravat | pitṛśuśrūṣayā buddhiṃ samprāpto 'yam anuttamām ||
尸迦说道：“在极短的时间内，此人便能如明月般行于长空。由于恭敬奉事其父，他获得了无与伦比的心智澄明。”

The verse teaches that sincere service to one’s father (pitṛśuśrūṣā), joined with disciplined learning, quickly refines the intellect into an unsurpassed clarity—so powerful that it is portrayed as a near-transcendent freedom, ‘moving in the sky like the moon.’
Śuka describes how a person attains extraordinary spiritual/intellectual elevation in a short time through devoted service to his father. Observers such as Vyāsa and other sages marvel at this rare concentration and the lofty state achieved.
