Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
अथाप्यृषिर्भुगुकुलकीर्तिवर्धन- स्तपोधनो वनमभिराममृद्धिमत् । मनीषया बहुविधरत्नभूषितं ससर्ज यन्न पुरि शतक्रतोरपि
athāpy ṛṣir bhṛgukulakīrtivardhanas tapodhano vanam abhirāmam ṛddhimat | manīṣayā bahuvidharatnabhūṣitaṃ sasarja yan na puri śatakrator api ||
ビーシュマは言った。「さらに、ブリグ族の名声を高め、苦行の力に富むその仙人チャヴァナは、意志の威力によって、さまざまな宝玉の輝きで飾られた、悦ばしく豊かな森を創り出した。かくも愛すべき林苑は、シャタクラトゥ（インドラ）の都にさえ見いだされぬほどであった。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical and spiritual idea that tapas (disciplined austerity) and focused resolve can generate extraordinary results—so great that even divine opulence (Indra’s city) is surpassed. True ‘wealth’ is presented as inner power and merit rather than mere celestial luxury.
Bhishma describes a renowned sage of the Bhṛgu line (understood as Chyavana) who, through his ascetic potency and mental resolve, creates a beautiful, jewel-adorned, prosperous forest—so enchanting that it outshines even Indra’s own city.
