Āśramāgamanam — The Pāṇḍavas Arrive at Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Hermitage
धृतराष्ट्रस्थ च तदा दिव्यं चक्षुर्नराधिप । मुनि: सत्यवतीपुत्र: प्रीत: प्रादात् तपोबलात्,नरेश्वरर उस समय सत्यवतीनन्दन मुनिवर व्यासने प्रसन्न होकर अपने तपोबलसे धृतराष्ट्रको दिव्य नेत्र प्रदान किये
dhṛtarāṣṭrasya ca tadā divyaṃ cakṣur narādhipa | muniḥ satyavatīputraḥ prītaḥ prādāt tapobalāt ||
হে নৰাধিপ! তেতিয়া সত্যৱতীপুত্ৰ মুনিবৰ ব্যাস প্ৰসন্ন হৈ নিজৰ তপোবলে ধৃতৰাষ্ট্ৰক দিব্য দৃষ্টি দান কৰিলে।

Educational Q&A
Tapas (austerity) and realized wisdom are not merely personal attainments; they can become instruments of compassion. Vyāsa’s gift of divine sight suggests that true spiritual power is ethically directed—used to illuminate, guide, and uplift those in need.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Vyāsa, pleased, grants Dhṛtarāṣṭra divine vision. The episode marks a moment where the blind king receives extraordinary sight through a sage’s ascetic potency, enabling perception beyond ordinary limits.
