so 'marṣavaśam āpannas tulādhāra-didṛkṣayā | pṛthivīm acarad rājan yatra sāyaṃgṛho muniḥ ||

Wahai raja, dikuasai oleh amarah dan ingin melihat Tulādhāra, ia mengembara di muka bumi. Di mana pun senja turun, di situlah sang resi bermalam.

Educational Q&A

The verse contrasts inner agitation (being overpowered by indignation) with outer discipline (stopping wherever dusk arrives). It hints that ethical progress requires mastering anger and maintaining regulated conduct even while pursuing instruction.

Bhishma narrates that a sage, driven by indignation, sets out to meet/see Tulādhāra. He roams across the earth and each evening lodges wherever nightfall finds him, continuing his journey day by day.
