Translation
My dear brāhmaṇa! All the sages present along with me are eager to know about this. Therefore, O great soul, kindly explain to us the reason.
Parīkṣit puts his faith in the sages. They have faith that you will make known to them the secret reason.
Personal Guidance
I and all the sages with me are eager — kindly explain. Communal hunger for knowledge legitimates inquiry.
Reflection Questions
- What knowledge am I hungry for that I have not yet asked for?
- Whose collective hunger could I name to my teacher?
