अध्याय ८२ — केशवप्रयाणे निमित्तदर्शनम्

vyapoḍhā bhrastataḥ kālaḥ kṣaṇena samapadyata | śivaś cānuvavau vāyuḥ praśāntaram abhavad rajaḥ |
তারপর মুহূর্তের মধ্যেই আকাশে জমে থাকা মেঘ ছিন্নভিন্ন হয়ে মিলিয়ে গেল। শীতল, সুখদ ও অনুকূল বাতাস বইতে লাগল, আর ধুলোর উড়ান থেমে গেল।

Educational Q&A
The verse uses a shift in nature—from turbulence to calm—as an auspicious sign: disorder can be dispelled swiftly, and a favorable turn (śiva) may arise, encouraging steadiness and readiness as events approach a decisive moment.
The narrator describes the weather clearing instantly: clouds break apart and disappear, a cool favorable wind begins to blow, and the dust settles—marking a calm, auspicious transition in the unfolding events of the Udyoga Parva.
