When the Teacher鈥檚 teacher happens to be close by, he should adopt towards him the same behaviour as towards his own teacher; but until permitted by his teacher, he should not pay respects to his own elders.鈥�(205)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (尘补苍耻产丑腻峁�y补):

The present verse permits the afore-mentioned behaviour towards one鈥檚 Teacher to be adopted in certain other cases.

Since the whole of the present deals with study, the term 鈥�guru鈥� should throughout be taken in the sense of 鈥榯eacher.鈥� If the teacher of one鈥檚 Teacher happens to be near, he should behave towards him as towards his own teacher.

鈥�When he happens to be close by.鈥欌�擳his implies that it is not incumbent upon the pupil to go over to the house of his teacher鈥檚 teacher for the purpose of paying respects to him.

While living in the Teacher鈥檚 house,鈥斺��until he is permitted by his Teacher鈥欌�攁llowed by him to do so,鈥攈e should not go to pay respects to his own 鈥榚lders鈥�;鈥攖o his father, mother, etc. This does not mean that when these elders come to his Teacher鈥檚 house, hc shall wait for the Teacher鈥檚 permission before he offers obeisance to them.

鈥淲hence do you get this meaning?鈥�

It follows from the fact that one鈥檚 parents are the highest objects of veneration; and as regards the paternal uncle, maternal uncle and other relations, if one salutes them, this does not stand in the way of his proper behaviour towards the Teacher. For after all, all his efforts are meant to win the Teacher鈥檚 favour.

As regards the order to be observed in saluting the mother, the father and the Teacher, when all these happen to be together,鈥攊t has already been declared that the Mother is superior to all; and as between the Father and the Teacher, there is option: In as much as the respect due to the Teacher is by reason of the position of the 鈥楩ather鈥� having been imposed upon him, the Father should be regarded as superior; but since it has been declared (in 146) that 鈥榯he father imparting the Veda is superior,鈥� it would follow that the Teacher is superior. It is for this reason that there is option.鈥�(205)
