Mahābhārata 3.139.19-24

Devanāgarī

ततः प्रादुर्बभूवुस् ते सर्व एव युधिष्ठिर ॥
अथाब्रवीद् यवक्रीतो देवान् अग्निपुरोगमान् ॥
समधीतं मया ब्रह्म व्रतानि चरितानि च ॥
कथं नु रैभ्यः शक्तो माम् अधीयानं तपस्विनम् ॥
तथायुक्तेन विधिना निहन्तुम् अमरोत्तमाः ॥
देवा ऊचुः
मैवं कृथा यवक्रीत यथा वदसि वै मुने ॥
ऋते गुरुम् अधीता हि सुखं वेदास् त्वया पुरा ॥
अनेन तु गुरून् दुःखात् तोषयित्वा स्वकर्मणा ॥
कालेन महता क्लेशाद् ब्रह्माधिगतम् उत्तमम् ॥
लोमश उवाच
यवक्रीतम् अथोक्त्वैवं देवाः साग्निपुरोगमाः ॥
संजीवयित्वा तान् सर्वान् पुनर् जग्मुस् त्रिविष्टपम् ॥
आश्रमस् तस्य पुण्यो ऽयं सदापुष्पफलद्रुमः ॥
अत्रोष्य राजशार्दूल सर्वपापैः प्रमोक्ष्यसे ॥

Traducción

Then all of them appeared once more, O Yudhishthira. And Yavakri said to the gods, with Agni at their head: "I have studied the Brahman, I have kept the vows. How then could Raibhya kill me in such a manner — me, a student and an ascetic, O best of the immortals?" The gods said: "Do not speak so, Yavakri, as you are speaking, O sage. You studied the Vedas easily before, without a guru. But he, having satisfied his gurus through his own labor amid suffering, attained the highest Brahman over a long time and with great effort." Lomasha said: "Having spoken thus to Yavakri, the gods, together with Agni, having revived them all, went again to Trivishtapa. Here is his holy ashram, where the trees always bear flowers and fruit. Having dwelt here, O tiger among kings, you will be freed from all sins."

Comentario

The gods give the final verdict: knowledge easily gained is not equal to knowledge won through suffering in service to a guru. The Vedas must enter one's character, or else they do not become a protection.
