Aṣṭāvakra and the Woman: Disclosure, Permission, and Marital Resolution (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय २२)
तत उत्थाय स मुनिस्तदा परमविस्मित:,तदनन्तर वे मुनि अत्यन्त आश्वर्यवकित होकर उठ बैठे। उन्होंने देखा कि पूर्व-दिशाके आकाशकमें सूर्यदेवका उदय हो गया है। वे सोचने लगे, क्या यह मेरा मोह है या वास्तवमें सूर्योदय हो गया है
tata utthāya sa munis tadā paramavismitaḥ | tad-anantaraṃ sa munir atyanta āścaryavākitaḥ utthāya upāviśat | sa dadarśa pūrva-diśi ākāśe sūryadevasya udayaṃ jātaṃ | sa cintayām āsa—kim idaṃ mama mohaḥ, atha vā vastutaḥ sūryodayaḥ jātaḥ |
Bhishma said: Then that sage rose, utterly astonished. Immediately afterward, overwhelmed with wonder, he sat up and beheld that in the eastern sky the Sun-god had already risen. He reflected, “Is this some delusion of mine, or has sunrise truly occurred?”
