अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
एवं सारस्वतमृषिमपान्तरतमं तथा । उक्त्वा वचनमीशान: साधयस्वेत्यथाब्रवीत्,“सरस्वती-पुत्र अपान्तरतम मुनिसे ऐसा कहकर भगवान् उन्हें विदा करते हुए बोले --'जाओ, अपना काम करो”
evaṁ sārasvatam ṛṣim apāntaratamaṁ tathā | uktvā vacanam īśānaḥ sādhayasvety athābravīt ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：主宰如此告诫萨拉斯瓦蒂之子阿般陀罗多摩仙人，遂遣之而曰：“去吧——成就你的使命。”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma as purposeful action performed in obedience to rightful authority: a sage, though spiritually eminent, accepts a defined mission and is urged to complete it, reflecting disciplined responsibility within the cosmic and ethical order.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the Lord, after speaking to the sage Apāntaratamas (identified as Sarasvatī’s son), formally dismisses him with an instruction to proceed and fulfill the assigned work—signaling a transition from counsel to execution of a task.
