एवमुक्त्वा विसृज्यैव तमायुं प्रणतं पुरः । आशीर्भिरभिनंद्यैव अंतर्द्धानमधीयत
evamuktvā visṛjyaiva tamāyuṃ praṇataṃ puraḥ | āśīrbhirabhinaṃdyaiva aṃtarddhānamadhīyata
Setelah berkata demikian, baginda melepaskan Āyu yang tunduk sujud di hadapannya; sambil memberkati dan memuji, baginda pun lenyap daripada pandangan.

Concept: Divine/saintly presence may be brief, but blessings endure; reverence (praṇāma) and receptivity are the proper closure to grace.
Application: Receive guidance with gratitude; let the ‘vanishing’ remind one to internalize teachings rather than cling to experiences.

FAQs
Āyu is a named figure addressed directly in the verse; however, identifying him precisely (e.g., lineage/role) requires the surrounding context from Adhyaya 103.
Antardhāna denotes becoming invisible or withdrawing from perception—often used when a divine or accomplished being ends an encounter after granting instruction or blessings.
The verse models respectful conduct: the recipient approaches with humility (praṇāma), and the giver responds with blessings and approval, concluding the exchange without attachment.
