Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
पाज्चालेन क्रम: प्राप्तस्तस्माद् भूतात् सनातनात् | महात्मा पांचालने वामदेवके बताये हुए ध्यान-मार्गसे मेरी आराधना करके मुझ सनातन पुरुषके ही कृपाप्रसादसे वेदका क्रमविभाग प्राप्त किया था ।।

因陀罗说道：“去吧，把此事告诉那胡沙。你已登上那辆古老的车乘，车辕系着诸仙圣者，正如往昔先人所行。” 他又说道：“由那永恒而太初的本体，得出了依次诵读吠陀的法度（krama）。大心的般遮罗依照婆摩提婆所示的禅观之道敬奉于我，凭借我——永恒之普鲁沙——的慈恩，获得了吠陀按次第分判的体系。在巴卜拉维耶一系中，他成为最先彻底通达‘krama’彼岸之人。 又有圣者伽罗婆，生于巴卜拉维耶氏族，蒙薄伽梵那罗延赐福并得无上瑜伽，制定吠陀之krama分序之法，并撰成《尸迦沙》（Śikṣā）之音声发音学；因此成为最早、最卓越的次第诵读大师。”

Educational Q&A
Sacred knowledge and disciplined practice (like Vedic krama-recitation and Śikṣā) are portrayed as fruits of devotion, meditation, and divine grace—not mere pride or power. The passage implicitly contrasts rightful spiritual attainment with the arrogance exemplified elsewhere in the Nahuṣa episode.
Indra instructs that Nahuṣa be addressed and refers to the earlier precedent of a sage-yoked conveyance. The text then shifts to a tradition-history: Pañcāla, through meditation taught by Vāmadeva and by the grace of the eternal Person, attains the ordered Vedic krama-division; and Gālava of the Bābhravya lineage, blessed by Nārāyaṇa, systematizes krama-division and Śikṣā, becoming an early master of these disciplines.
