सांख्ययोगभेदः तथा योगबलोपदेशः
Sāṃkhya–Yoga Distinction and Instruction on Yogic Strength
विज्ञातरूप: स तदा तपःसिद्धो 5थ धन्विना । ज्ञात्वा शूलं च देवेश: पाणिना समनामयत्,तपःसिद्ध शुक्राचार्यको उस रूपमें पहचानकर देवेश्वर शिवने उन्हें शूलपर स्थित जानकर अपने अनुषयुक्त हाथसे उस शूलको झुका दिया
vijñātarūpaḥ sa tadā tapaḥsiddho ’tha dhanvinā | jñātvā śūlaṃ ca deveśaḥ pāṇinā samamānamayat ||
ビーシュマは語った。そのとき神々の主シヴァは、彼をその姿のまま苦行成就の者と見定め、また三叉戟の上に立つのを見て、自らの手でその三叉戟をやさしく傾けた。この逸話は、真のタパスに対して神威がいかに応ずるかを示す――霊的成就を認め、無益な害ではなく、節度ある意図的な所作によって力を抑えるのである。

Educational Q&A
Spiritual attainment gained through tapas is acknowledged even by the highest divine authority; true power expresses itself through discernment and restraint—responding proportionately and purposefully rather than through uncontrolled violence.
Bhīṣma narrates that Śiva recognizes a tapas-siddha figure and, seeing him positioned upon the trident, lowers/bends the trident with his hand—an act signaling recognition, control over the weapon, and a measured divine response.
