ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā
(सिद्धचारणसंघैश्न प्रसन्नेरसपशोभित: । मत्तवारणसंयुक्तो नानापक्षिगणैर्युत: ।।
siddhacāraṇasaṅghaiś ca prasannair asapaśobhitaḥ | mattavāraṇasaṃyukto nānāpakṣigaṇair yutaḥ || tam adbhutam acintyaṃ ca dṛṣṭvā munigaṇas tadā | vismito hṛṣṭaromā ca babhūvāśrāvilekṣaṇaḥ ||
Bhishma dit : Dans la joie, les cohortes de Siddhas et de Cāraṇas rehaussèrent la splendeur de la montagne. Le lieu se remplit de nouveau d’éléphants enivrés et de volées d’oiseaux de toutes sortes. Voyant cet événement merveilleux et inconcevable, l’assemblée des sages fut saisie d’étonnement ; leurs poils se dressèrent et leurs yeux se remplirent de larmes de joie.

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights how contact with the divine or the extraordinary can transform a place and the hearts of the wise: true spiritual wonder (adbhuta) evokes reverence, joy, and devotional emotion rather than skepticism or pride.
Celestial beings (Siddhas and Cāraṇas) rejoice and beautify a mountain region; the locale becomes lively again with elephants and many birds. The sages witness this inconceivable marvel and respond with amazement, goosebumps, and tears of joy.
