तस्य धर्मार्थविदुषो दृष्टवा तद् विपुलं तपः । आजगाम द्विजश्रेष्ठ: कृष्णद्वैपषायनस्तदा
tasya dharmārthaviduṣo dṛṣṭvā tad vipulaṃ tapaḥ | ājagāma dvijaśreṣṭhaḥ kṛṣṇadvaipāyanas tadā ||
ধৰ্ম আৰু অৰ্থৰ তত্ত্বজ্ঞানী সেই ৰাজকুমাৰৰ উগ্ৰ আৰু বিপুল তপস্যা দেখি, সেই সময়তে দ্বিজশ্ৰেষ্ঠ কৃষ্ণদ্বৈপায়ন ব্যাস তেওঁৰ ওচৰলৈ আহিল।

Educational Q&A
When a ruler (or aspirant) combines understanding of dharma (ethical duty) and artha (practical welfare) with sincere tapas (disciplined effort), it becomes worthy of recognition and guidance from realized sages; moral insight must be supported by lived self-discipline.
Bhīṣma narrates that Vyāsa, the eminent Brahmin sage, comes to a prince after witnessing the prince’s great austerities—signaling a moment where ascetic commitment invites authoritative counsel.
