भीष्मदर्शनार्थं प्रस्थानम्
Departure to Behold Bhīṣma
स ध्यानपथमाविश्य सर्वज्ञानानि माधव: । अवलोक्य तत: पश्चाद् दध्यौ ब्रह्म सनातनम्,तत्पश्चात् ध्यानमार्गमें स्थित हो माधव सम्पूर्ण ज्ञानोंको प्रत्यक्ष करके अपने सनातन ब्रह्मस्वरूपका चिन्तन करने लगे
sa dhyānapatham āviśya sarvajñānāni mādhavaḥ | avalokya tataḥ paścād dadhyau brahma sanātanam ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Entering the path of meditation, Mādhava directly beheld all forms of knowledge; thereafter, he turned his mind to contemplation of the eternal Brahman—his timeless, supreme reality.

Educational Q&A
Meditative discipline (dhyāna) is presented as a direct means to comprehensive insight (sarvajñāna) and culminates in contemplation/realization of the eternal Brahman, indicating that knowledge finds its highest fulfillment in steady absorption in the Absolute.
The narrator describes Mādhava entering a meditative state, directly surveying all knowledges, and then focusing his contemplation on the eternal Brahman—shifting from broad omniscient vision to the highest, unchanging principle.
