Adhyāya 160: Dikpāla-Cosmography and the Sun’s Kālacakra (दिक्पाल-विश्ववर्णनम् तथा आदित्यस्य कालचक्रम्)
अन्वजानातू स धर्मज्ञो मुनिर्दिव्येन चक्षुषा । पाण्डो: पुत्रान् कुरुश्रेष्ठानास्यतामिति चाब्रवीत्,उन धर्मज्ञ मुनि आर्डिषेणने अपनी दिव्यदृष्टिसे कुरुश्रेष्ठ पाण्डवोंको जान लिया और कहा, “आप सब लोग बैठें”
anvajānātu sa dharmajño munir divyena cakṣuṣā | pāṇḍoḥ putrān kuruśreṣṭhān āsyatām iti cābravīt |
त्या धर्मज्ञ मुनीने दिव्यदृष्टीने पांडूचे पुत्र—कुरुश्रेष्ठ पांडव—ओळखले आणि म्हणाले, “तुम्ही सर्वजण बसा.”

Educational Q&A
A dharma-knowing sage recognizes worthy persons through higher insight and responds with proper conduct—here, respectful hospitality—showing that spiritual discernment should lead to ethical action.
The narrator reports that a sage, using divine sight, identifies the Pāṇḍavas as Pāṇḍu’s sons and eminent Kurus, and then courteously invites them to sit.
