Worldly limitations—such as Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s lifelong blindness and the irreversibility of loss—are momentarily transcended through ṛṣi-prasāda (a sage’s grace). The verse highlights that spiritual authority and compassion can grant insight and closure where ordinary means fail, encouraging humility and ethical reflection after catastrophic outcomes.
Vaiśampāyana tells Janamejaya that Dhṛtarāṣṭra, who had never seen his sons, is granted a vision of their forms through the grace of the sage (implicitly Vyāsa). This sets the scene for a consolatory, revelatory moment in the forest-dwelling phase after the great war.
