Translation
Addressed thus, the spiritual master Vaiśampāyana became angry and said: Go away from here! Enough of you, O disciple who insults brāhmaṇas! Furthermore, you must immediately give back everything I have taught you.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Addressed thus, the guru Vaiśampāyana became angry and said: Go away from here! What is the use of a disciple like you, who insults brāhmaṇas! Furthermore, you must give back everything I have taught you.
He became angry because Yajṣavalkya had spoken out of pride. You criticize brāhmaṇas who are humble as being weak. Go away. What is the use of a disciple like you? “Yes, I will go.” When he was leaving the guru said, “Give back the knowledge I have taught you.”
Purport
Śrī Vaiśampāyana was angry because one of his disciples, Yājṣavalkya, was insulting the other disciples, who were, after all, qualified brāhmaṇas. Just as a father is disturbed when one son mistreats the father’s other children, the spiritual master is very displeased if a proud disciple insults or mistreats the guru’s other disciples.
