At the beginning of Chapter 15, the author addresses the listeners with great humility, asking them to show grace and contemplate their own Guru before preparing their minds for the story. A central analogy is used where the listeners are compared to a vast ocean. The author explains that just as the ocean accepts all rivers, even the muddy streams, without turning them back, they hope the audience will accept their storytelling. This comparison, as detailed in Chapter 15, is used to express the author's desire to immerse themselves in the listeners and to ask for their acceptance without rebuke.
