नियोगप्रसङ्गः — The Niyoga Episode: Births of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Pāṇḍu, and Vidura
महाप्रभावो ब्रद्य॒र्षिदेवान् क्रोधसमन्वित: । अथाश्रमपदं प्राप्तास्ते वै भूयो महात्मन:
vaiśampāyana uvāca | mahāprabhāvo brahmarṣir devān krodhasamanvitaḥ | athāśramapadaṃ prāptās te vai bhūyo mahātmanaḥ ||
ವೈಶಂಪಾಯನನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಮಹಾಪ್ರಭಾವಶಾಲಿಯಾದ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮರ್ಷಿಯು ಕ್ರೋಧದಿಂದ ದೇವತೆಗಳನ್ನೂ ಶಪಿಸಿದನು. ನಂತರ ಆ ಮಹಾತ್ಮ ವಸುಗಳು ಮತ್ತೆ ಆ ಮಹಾಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ಆಶ್ರಮಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದರು.

Educational Q&A
Spiritual authority grounded in tapas is portrayed as morally weighty and effective even against divine beings; wrongdoing is not erased by status, and the proper response to fault is humility and seeking reconciliation rather than relying on privilege.
Vaiśampāyana describes how a powerful Brahmarṣi, angered, cursed divine beings; afterward they return to the sage’s hermitage again, attempting to appease him and mitigate the consequences of the curse.
