Nāga-āyatana-darśana-pratīkṣā — The Brāhmaṇa’s Request and Waiting on the Gomatī
श्वेतद्वीपं समासाद्य येन दृष्ट: स्वयं हरि: । देवप्रसादानुगतं व्यक्त तत् तस्य दर्शनम्
Śvetadvīpaṃ samāsādya yena dṛṣṭaḥ svayaṃ Hariḥ | devaprasādānugataṃ vyaktaṃ tat tasya darśanam ||
ಜನಮೇಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—“ಶ್ವೇತದ್ವೀಪವನ್ನು ತಲುಪಿ, ಯಾರಿಂದ ಸ್ವಯಂ ಹರಿಯು ಪ್ರತ್ಯಕ್ಷವಾಗಿ ದರ್ಶನ ನೀಡಿದನೋ, ಅವನ ಆ ದರ್ಶನವು ದೇವತೆಗಳ ಪ್ರಸಾದಾನುಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ವ್ಯಕ್ತವಾಯಿತು.”

Educational Q&A
Direct spiritual realization (darśana of Hari) is presented as something that becomes manifest through divine grace (devaprasāda), not merely through personal effort; sacred approach and worthiness culminate in revelation.
Janamejaya asks about a person who reached Śvetadvīpa and obtained a direct vision of Hari, emphasizing that this extraordinary encounter was clearly the result of divine favor.
