True knowledge in the epic is often mediated by spiritual authority: Sañjaya’s access to hidden events depends not on ordinary senses but on the sage Vyāsa’s tejas, underscoring the primacy of ṛṣi-śakti and trustworthy transmission.
Sañjaya tells Dhṛtarāṣṭra that a certain conversation among sages was inaudible to everyone else; only Bhīṣma and Sañjaya could hear it, and Sañjaya’s hearing was enabled specifically by Vyāsa’s supernatural power.
