Systems of Knowledge and Vyāsa’s Nārāyaṇa-Origin
अथ श्रुत्वा वयं सर्वे वाचं तामशरीरिणीम् । यथाख्यातेन मार्गेण तं॑ देशं प्रतिपेदिरे,“इस आकाशवाणीको सुनकर हमलोग उसके बताये हुए मार्गसे उस स्थानको गये
atha śrutvā vayaṁ sarve vācaṁ tām aśarīriṇīm | yathākhyātena mārgeṇa taṁ deśaṁ pratipedire ||
भीष्म म्हणाले—“ती अशरीरी आकाशवाणी ऐकून आम्ही सर्वांनी, तिने सांगितलेल्या मार्गाने, त्या देशाकडे प्रस्थान केले आणि तेथे पोहोचलो.”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined receptivity: when reliable guidance is received—especially one framed as authoritative or divinely sanctioned—one should act in an orderly, collective, and purposeful way, following the prescribed path rather than impulsive speculation.
After hearing an incorporeal (heavenly) voice that gives directions, the group accompanying the speaker proceeds to the specified destination by the route described.
