मुहूर्तादथ मे दृष्टि: प्रादुर्भूता पुनर्नवा । यया निर्मुक्तमात्मानमपश्यं लब्धचेतसम्,फिर दो ही घड़ीमें मुझे एक नवीन दृष्टि प्राप्त हुई, जिससे मैं अपने-आपको मायासे मुक्त और सचेत अनुभव करने लगा

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights an inner ethical-spiritual turning point: when delusion lifts, a renewed ‘vision’ (dṛṣṭi) arises, restoring mental steadiness and enabling one to recognize the self as free from भ्रम/मोह (delusion). It implies that right understanding is not merely intellectual but a recovery of consciousness that supports dharmic discernment.
The narrator-speaker, Vaiśampāyana, reports a sudden return of clarity after a brief interval. This renewed insight allows him to perceive himself as released from confusion and to feel fully conscious again, marking a transition from disorientation to composed awareness within the ongoing Vana Parva episode.
