योसि सोसि नमस्तुभ्यमुपदेशेन युंक्ष्व माम् । गुरूक्तं गुरुपत्न्युक्तं गुर्वपत्योक्तमेव च
yosi sosi namastubhyamupadeśena yuṃkṣva mām | gurūktaṃ gurupatnyuktaṃ gurvapatyoktameva ca
无论你是谁——就如此吧;我向你顶礼。请将我系于圣教之训(教导我)。因为上师所说、上师之妻所说、上师之子所说——这一切——都应当奉为权威之言。
Tvāṣṭra (the seeker)
Tirtha: Kāśī (didactic backdrop)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka-ādi ṛṣis
Scene: Tvāṣṭra prostrates or stands in deep añjali, requesting upadeśa; the ascetic raises a hand in blessing/teaching gesture; the scene feels like the opening of a discourse.
A sincere seeker submits to guidance; reverence for the guru’s instruction is upheld as a pillar of dharma.
Indirectly Kāśī’s dharmic milieu is the chapter’s focus; this verse emphasizes the means—right instruction—by which Kāśī’s worship bears fruit.
Seeking upadeśa (formal spiritual instruction) from a qualified authority is implied; no specific vrata or snāna is stated here.
