Awaken to Knowledge, O Residents of Bhārat
Awaken to knowledge, O residents of India. You are identified as subduers of the wicked and nourishers of cows. The instruction is to learn from all people within the land. A command is given to propagate this message in all directions. There is a direct contradiction in the guidance on religious paths. One statement forbids following any other religion, while another commands not to destroy any path. The term for certain people remains undefined and unclear. The core call to awaken and to know all people is repeated without progressive development. These assertions are presented without supporting argument or clear causal connection between the spiritual, ethical, and social directives.
"Do not follow any other religion."
"Do not destroy any path, indeed."
