Traducción

Sarisrikva said: "You are steadfast and wise; and this is our mortal danger; for one brave and wise man is worth many, without doubt." Stambamitra said: "The eldest indeed is the savior; the eldest delivers from calamity; if the eldest does not know the way, what will the younger do?"

Comentario

Here the younger entrust themselves to the wisdom of the eldest. It is significant that the brothers rely on the eldest as their savior: where there is a wise elder, there is hope for the younger too. Herein lies a good order, in which the eldest leads and the younger trust. Thus scripture reveals the concord of brothers -- and the eldest is called upon to raise praise to Agni.
