अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
वेदानावर्तयन् साड्रान् भारतार्थाश्व सर्वश: । तमेकमनसं दान्तं युक्ता वयमुपास्महे
vedān āvartayan sāṅgān bhāratārthāṁś ca sarvaśaḥ | tam ekamanasaṁ dāntaṁ yuktā vayam upāsmahe ||
毗舍波耶那说：“毗耶娑诵习诸吠陀及其支分学科，又以种种方式阐明《摩诃婆罗多》的义理，教导我们这些弟子。我们则恒常警醒守律，侍奉那位导师——一心专注、制御诸根、安住苦行之道。”

Educational Q&A
True learning is portrayed as a disciplined tradition: mastery through repeated recitation and careful interpretation, grounded in the student’s attentive service and the teacher’s self-control and single-pointed focus.
Vaiśampāyana recalls the period of study under Vyāsa: Vyāsa recites and teaches the Vedas (with their auxiliaries) and explains the Mahābhārata’s meanings, while the disciples remain vigilant and devoted in serving him.
