Devaśarmā–Vipula Dialogue on Ahorātra–Ṛtu as Moral Witnesses (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय ४३)
देवशर्मा महाभागस्ततो भरतसत्तम | भरतश्रेष्ठ] ऐसा कहकर महाभाग देवशर्मा मुनि यज्ञ करनेके लिये चले गये
devaśarmā mahābhāgas tato bharatasattama | (ity uktvā) mahābhāgo devaśarmā munir yajñaṁ kartuṁ yayau ||
Бхишма сказал: «Затем, о лучший из Бхаратов, славный мудрец Девашарма, сказав так, удалился, чтобы совершить яджну — жертвенный обряд.»

The verse highlights the dharmic principle that right counsel and sacred intent should be followed by disciplined action—here symbolized by the sage’s departure to perform yajña, a duty-oriented act meant to uphold cosmic and social order.
Bhishma narrates that after speaking (in the preceding context), the revered sage Devaśarmā leaves to undertake a sacrificial ritual, marking a transition from instruction to the performance of a dharmic rite.
