Once upon a time, a highly intelligent and attentive disciple, desirous of obtaining what was for his highest good touched the preceptor's feet, and standing with joined palms before him, said,-If O illustrious one, you have been pleased with the adoration I have offered you, you should solve a great doubt of mine.
शिष्यः परममेधावी श्रेयोऽर्थी सुसमाहितः। चरणावुपसंगृह्य स्थितः प्राञ्जलिरब्रवीत्॥ उपासनात् प्रसन्नोऽसि यदि वै भगवन् मम। संशयो मे महान् कश्चित् तन्मे व्याख्यातुमर्हसि।
