Hearing his request, Bh峁沢u is reminded that similarly N膩rada had been approached by Gautama, and so he tells what transpired in their sessions (1-18a). N膩rada, whose teaching came to him directly from the Lord Vi峁ａ箛u, stipulates that it should not be given to non-initiates into the P膩帽car膩tra way of worship. Thereupon he gives 诲墨办峁Ｄ�-initiation to Gautama, giving him a condensed version of the original revelation (18b-25a).
