Nāmānirukta of Nārāyaṇa (Keśava–Viṣṇu–Vāsudeva) and the Rudra–Nārāyaṇa Unity Theme
अवतीर्णिेषु शिष्येषु व्यास: पुत्रसहायवान् । तृष्णीं ध्यानपरो धीमानेकान्ते समुपाविशत्,शिष्योंके पर्वतसे नीचे उतर जानेपर व्यासजीके साथ उनके पुत्र शुकदेवके सिवा और कोई नहीं रह गया। वे बुद्धिमान् व्यासजी एकान्तमें ध्यानमग्न होकर चुपचाप बैठे थे
avatīrṇeṣu śiṣyeṣu vyāsaḥ putrasahāyavān | tṛṣṇīṃ dhyānaparo dhīmān ekānte samupāviśat ||
Cuando los discípulos descendieron de la montaña, Vyāsa quedó sin nadie a su lado salvo su hijo Śuka. El sabio Vyāsa, absorto en la meditación, se sentó en silencio en la soledad—señalando un retiro deliberado de la enseñanza exterior hacia la contemplación interior, donde la realización madura más allá de las palabras.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical-spiritual value of disciplined withdrawal: after instruction and activity, the sage turns to solitary meditation and silence, implying that the deepest dharma is assimilated inwardly and that some truths mature beyond speech.
After the disciples come down from the mountain, only Vyāsa and his son Śuka remain. Vyāsa then sits alone in seclusion, silent and absorbed in meditation, setting the stage for a more intimate, contemplative phase of the episode.
