Gālava’s Eastern Ascent with Garuḍa; Counsel on Kāla and Upāya (उद्योगपर्व, अध्याय ११०)

अत्र तिष्ठति वै स्वातिरत्रास्या उदय: स्मृत: । इसी दिशामें अरुन्धतीदेवी और सप्तर्षि प्रकाशित होते हैं। इसीमें स्वाती नक्षत्रका निवास है और यहीं उसका उदय होता है

atra tiṣṭhati vai svātir atrāsyā udayaḥ smṛtaḥ |

યુપર્ણે કહ્યું—“અહીં જ સ્વાતી નક્ષત્ર વસે છે અને અહીં જ તેનો ઉદય થાય છે એમ જાણીતું છે. આ જ દિશામાં અરુન્ધતી દેવી અને સપ્તઋષિઓ તેજસ્વી દેખાય છે—યથાર્થ બોધ અને નિયમિત અવલોકન માટે આકાશીય દિશા-નિર્ધારણનું ચિહ્ન બની.”

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights reliance on established knowledge and careful observation of cosmic markers (nakṣatras and revered stars) as a way to orient oneself correctly—symbolically aligning human conduct with order and tradition.

Yuparṇa points out a specific direction in the sky, identifying where Svātī is said to reside and rise, and notes that Arundhatī and the Saptarṣis are visible there—using celestial reference points to indicate location and auspicious orientation.
