Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
स्तुत्वा मां शिपिविष्ठेति यास्क ऋषिरुदार धी: । मत्प्रसादादधो नष्ट निरुक्तमभिजग्मिवान्
stutvā māṃ śipiviṣṭheti yāska ṛṣir udāradhīḥ | matprasādād adho naṣṭaṃ niruktam abhijagmivān ||
雅斯迦（Yāska）这位胸怀高远的圣仙，以“尸毗毗湿多”（Śipiviṣṭa）之名赞颂我。承我恩力，他从下界寻回了失落的《尼鲁克塔》（Nirukta）圣学，并将这门神圣之学再度带回世间。

Educational Q&A
Reverent praise offered with sincerity and right intention can attract divine favor, and that grace can restore what is lost—especially sacred knowledge—so it may benefit the world.
Indra recalls an example: the sage Yāska praised him as “Śipiviṣṭa,” and through Indra’s favor Yāska recovered the Nirukta-śāstra that had been lost in the lower regions (pātāla) and brought it back.
