तत्रासीनस्य कौन्तेय गौतमस्य सुख: शिव: । पुष्पाणि समुपस्पृश्य प्रववावनिल: शुभ: । ह्वादयन् सर्वगात्राणि गौतमस्य तदा नूप
tatrāsīnasya kaunteya gautamasya sukhaḥ śivaḥ | puṣpāṇi samupaspṛśya pravavāv anilaḥ śubhaḥ | hvādayan sarvagātrāṇi gautamasya tadā nṛpa |
କୌନ୍ତେୟ! ଗୌତମ ସେଠାରେ ବସିବାମାତ୍ରେ ପୁଷ୍ପକୁ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କରି ସୁଗନ୍ଧିତ, ମନ୍ଦ ଓ ଶୁଭ ପବନ ବହିଲା। ହେ ନରେଶ୍ୱର! ସେହି ପବନ ତେବେ ଗୌତମଙ୍କ ସମସ୍ତ ଅଙ୍ଗକୁ ଆହ୍ଲାଦିତ କରି ସୁଖ ଓ କଲ୍ୟାଣବୋଧ ଦେଉଥିଲା।

Educational Q&A
The verse uses auspicious natural imagery to signal the fruit of serenity and right conduct: when a sage abides in calmness, the environment is portrayed as harmonizing with that virtue, bringing śiva (welfare) and sukha (ease).
Bhīṣma describes Gautama seated in a place where flowers are present; a gentle, fragrant breeze arises after touching the blossoms and gives bodily delight and comfort to the sage, marking the scene as favorable and sanctified.
