Adhyāya 32: Tāpasānāṃ Darśanaṃ — Ascetics Seek to Identify the Pāṇḍavas
विधि परममास्थाय ब्रद्मर्षिविहितं शुभम् । संहृष्टमनस: सर्वे देवलोक इवामरा:
vaiśampāyana uvāca |
vidhiṃ paramam āsthāya brahmarṣi-vihitaṃ śubham |
saṃhṛṣṭa-mānasaḥ sarve devaloka ivāmarāḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Embracing the highest and auspicious discipline laid down by the brahmarṣis, all of them—free from inner agitation—met one another with hearts uplifted. In that moment they seemed like the deathless gods in heaven, filled with joy and concord.
