नारद–असित (देवल) संवादः — भूतप्रभवाप्यय, इन्द्रिय-गुण-विवेक, क्षेत्रज्ञ-तत्त्व
तां नियुक्तामदीनात्मा सत्त्वस्थ: संयमे रत: । ज्ञानवान् नियताहारो ददर्श कपिलस्तथा,उस समय सत्त्वगुणमें स्थित, संयमपरायण, मिताहारी, उदारचित्त और ज्ञानवान् कपिलमुनिने त्वष्टाके लिये नियुक्त हुई उस गायको देखा
tāṁ niyuktām adīnātmā sattvasthaḥ saṁyame rataḥ | jñānavān niyatāhāro dadarśa kapilas tathā ||
ビーシュマは言った。カピラ仙は—心高く、清浄なるサットヴァに安住し、自己抑制に励み、智慧に鍛えられ、食を節する者—そのとき、トヴァシュトリ（Tvaṣṭā）の務めのために任じられたその牝牛を見た。

Educational Q&A
The verse presents the ideal ethical posture of a sage: steadiness in sattva, commitment to self-restraint, moderation in consumption, and clarity of knowledge. Such inner discipline enables right perception and right response to duties and beings encountered.
Bhishma describes Kapila encountering and observing a cow that has been assigned for Tvaṣṭā’s purpose. The description foregrounds Kapila’s virtues—purity, restraint, wisdom, and regulated diet—before the narrative proceeds to the implications of that encounter.
