मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
अन्तर्धानं गता: सर्वे सर्वेषामेव पश्यताम् । तदनन्तर वे महर्षिगण भीष्मजी और पाण्डवोंकी अनुमति लेकर सबके देखते-देखते ही वहाँसे अदृश्य हो गये
antardhānaṃ gatāḥ sarve sarveṣām eva paśyatām | tadanantaraṃ vai maharṣigaṇā bhīṣmajī-pāṇḍavayoḥ anumatiṃ gṛhītvā sarveṣāṃ paśyatāṃ paśyatāṃ tatraiva adṛśyā abhavan ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。皆が見守るその最中、彼らはことごとく視界から消え失せた。ついで集いし大聖仙たちは、ビーシュマとパーンダヴァらの許しを得て別れを告げると、その場でたちまち、万人の目の前から姿を消した。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even those possessing spiritual powers observe dharma through humility and proper conduct: they take leave respectfully (anumati) from revered elders and rightful recipients of instruction, showing that power is subordinate to ethical decorum.
After the exchange around Bhīṣma and the Pāṇḍavas, the gathered great sages formally take permission and then disappear from sight in front of everyone, marking a transition in the episode.
