Bhashya

परां हि कार्येषु सुदुर्लभां कथां प्रब्रूहि मे वाक्यमेवं कुमार ॥ १ ॥

In plain words

The highest teaching — the one so hard to come by among all the things there are to do — speak it out to me. Say that word to me, Kumāra.

Close to the Sanskrit

Indeed the supreme discourse, very hard to obtain among the things to be done — declare it to me, such a statement, O Kumāra.
