Adhyāya 62: Marutta’s Treasure and the Pāṇḍavas’ Auspicious Departure (मरुत्तस्य धनप्राप्त्युपक्रमः)
आजगाम ततो व्यासो ज्ञात्वा दिव्येन चक्षुषा । समागम्याब्रवीद् धीमान् पृथां पृुथुललोचनाम्,उसकी इस दशाको दिव्य दृष्टिसे जानकर महान् तेजस्वी बुद्धिमान् महर्षि व्यास वहाँ आये और विशाल नेत्रोंवाली कुन्ती तथा उत्तरासे मिलकर उन्हें समझाते हुए इस प्रकार बोले--'यशस्विनि उत्तरे! तुम यह शोक त्याग दो। तुम्हारा पुत्र महातेजस्वी होगा
ājagāma tato vyāso jñātvā divyena cakṣuṣā | samāgamyābravīd dhīmān pṛthāṃ pṛthulalocanām |
Then Vyāsa arrived there, having perceived the situation with his divine sight. Approaching, the wise sage addressed Pṛthā (Kuntī), the wide-eyed one, and, meeting with her and Uttarā, spoke to console and instruct them: “O illustrious Uttarā, abandon this grief. Your son will be endowed with great splendor.”

Educational Q&A
Grief should be tempered by dharmic understanding and trust in a larger moral order: Vyāsa, seeing with divine insight, redirects sorrow into steadiness by affirming the future good (the child’s destined greatness) and restoring hope and responsibility.
After perceiving events through divine sight, Vyāsa comes to Kuntī and Uttarā and speaks words of reassurance, urging Uttarā to abandon grief and declaring that her son will be greatly radiant—foreshadowing the continuation of the Kuru line through Parīkṣit.
