एकान्तिधर्म-प्रश्नः (Inquiry into Ekāntin Dharma) / The Origin and Practice of Single-Pointed Nārāyaṇa-Centered Discipline
तैरेकमतिभिर्भूत्वा यत् प्रोक्तं शास्त्रमुत्तमम् । वेदैश्नतुर्भि: समितं कृतं॑ मेरो महागिरी
bhīṣma uvāca | tair ekamatibhir bhūtvā yat proktaṃ śāstram uttamam | vedaiś caturbhiḥ samitaṃ kṛtaṃ merau mahāgiri ||
毗湿摩说道:“他们同心一意,宣说了一部殊胜论典。此论成于大山须弥(Meru),并与四部吠陀相契合,故能作为权威之指南而立。其间为世间阐明至高之法(dharma)原则,宛如七口同宣——象征以圣仙为根基的共同奠基,用以确立伦理与社会秩序。”
भीष्म उवाच
That a true and authoritative dharma-teaching (śāstra) is grounded in unanimity among realized sages and must be consistent with the four Vedas; such concord gives it normative force for guiding worldly conduct.
Bhishma introduces an account of a supreme treatise on dharma said to have been composed on Mount Meru by a unified group of sages, emphasizing its Veda-aligned authority and its role in explaining the best principles of worldly dharma.
