Shloka 14
ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā
हरितेषु सुवर्णेषु बर्हिष्केषु नवेषु च । उपोपविविशु: प्रीता विष्टरेषु महर्षय:
hariteṣu suvarṇeṣu barhiṣkeṣu naveṣu ca | upopaviviśuḥ prītā viṣṭareṣu maharṣayaḥ ||
Disse Bhishma: Com o coração jubiloso, os grandes sábios sentaram-se em assentos recém-preparados—de tonalidade verde e dourada—feitos da sagrada relva kuśa; e, com calma e ordem, dispuseram-se para o rito e para a exposição do dharma que se seguiria.

The verse underscores the dharmic ideal of preparing a pure, orderly, and respectful setting—using sanctified materials like kuśa grass—before engaging in sacred rites or ethical instruction; inner joy (prīti) and outer propriety support right conduct.
As Bhishma narrates, the great sages, pleased and composed, take their seats on fresh, kuśa-grass ritual spreads—green and golden—signaling the commencement of a formal, sacred discussion or observance.
