नारायणीयमाख्यानम् (Nārāyaṇīyam Ākhyānam) — Nārada’s Return and Hymnic Consolidation
तमुवाच महादेव: सान्त्वपूर्वमिदं वच: । पुत्रशोकाभिसंतप्तं कृष्णद्वैपायनं तदा
tam uvāca mahādevaḥ sāntvapūrvam idaṃ vacaḥ | putraśokābhisaṃtaptaṃ kṛṣṇadvaipāyanaṃ tadā ||
ビーシュマは言った。するとマハーデーヴァ（シヴァ、Śiva）は、子を失って悲嘆に焼かれるクリシュナ・ドヴァイパーヤナ・ヴィヤーサ（Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana Vyāsa）に向かい、慰めとやさしい確信に満ちた言葉を語った――これから説かれる教えに、慈悲とダルマの調べを定めるかのように。

Educational Q&A
Even profound sorrow is to be met first with sāntva—compassionate reassurance—before instruction. The verse models a dharmic approach: healing speech and empathy prepare the mind to receive higher counsel.
Bhīṣma narrates that Śiva (Mahādeva) arrives and speaks consoling words to Vyāsa, who is overwhelmed by grief for his son, marking the beginning of Śiva’s comforting address.
