महिमानं तु तं दृष्ट्वा पुत्रस्यामिततेजसः । सोऽनुनीतो भगवता व्यासो रुद्रेण नारद ॥ ३३ ॥
mahimānaṃ tu taṃ dṛṣṭvā putrasyāmitatejasaḥ | so'nunīto bhagavatā vyāso rudreṇa nārada || 33 ||
Doch als Vyāsa—o Nārada—die Größe seines Sohnes von unermesslichem Glanz erblickte, wurde er vom seligen Herrn Rudra getröstet und wieder versöhnt.

FAQs
The verse highlights how divine grace restores inner balance: Vyāsa’s agitation is resolved when he recognizes the extraordinary spiritual stature of his son, and Rudra’s compassionate intervention completes that reconciliation.
It implies that bhakti is not merely emotion but a transformative refuge—when the mind is unsettled, surrender to the Bhagavān (here, Rudra) and reverent recognition of true spiritual greatness bring peace and clarity.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Śikṣā) is taught directly in this verse; the practical takeaway is dhārmic discernment—recognizing genuine tejas (spiritual excellence) and accepting guidance from an authoritative deva/guru.
