Shloka 28
Vivāha-dharma: Kanyā-pradāna, Śulka, and Pāṇigrahaṇa-niṣṭhā (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय ४४)
मुहूर्तयाते तस्मिंस्तु देवशर्मा महातपा: । कृत्वा यज्ञ यथाकाममाजगाम स्वमाश्रमम्,उनके गये अभी एक ही मुहूर्त बीतने पाया था कि महा तपस्वी देवशर्मा इच्छानुसार यज्ञ पूर्ण करके अपने आश्रमपर लौट आये
muhūrtayāte tasmiṁstu devaśarmā mahātapāḥ | kṛtvā yajñaṁ yathākāmam ājagāma svam āśramam ||
ビーシュマは語った。その後、ただ一ムフールタも経たぬうちに、大苦行者デーヴァシャルマーは望みのままに祭祀（ヤジュニャ）を成就し、自らの庵へと帰って来た。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the efficacy of disciplined austerity and correctly executed yajña: when undertaken with competence and resolve, sacred duty can yield swift and intended outcomes, reinforcing the Mahābhārata’s emphasis on dharma expressed through right action.
Bhīṣma narrates that shortly after the relevant event—within about one muhūrta—Devaśarmā, a powerful ascetic, finishes the sacrifice to his satisfaction and returns to his hermitage, marking the completion of a ritual episode and the ascetic’s prompt re-entry into āśrama life.
