अध्याय ३३७ — ज्ञानमार्ग-वैविध्यप्रश्नः तथा व्यासस्य नारायणोद्भवकथा
Systems of Knowledge and Vyāsa’s Nārāyaṇa-Origin
सहसा दृष्टवन्त: सम पुनरेव बृहस्पते । “बृहस्पते! थोड़ी ही देरमें हमारे सामने एक ही साथ हजारों सूर्योके समान प्रभा प्रकट हुई। हमारी दृष्टि सहसा उस ओर खिंच गयी
sahasā dṛṣṭavantaḥ sma punar eva bṛhaspate | “bṛhaspate! thoḍī hī der meṃ asmākaṃ samakṣaṃ ekaiva sāhasrāṇāṃ sūryāṇāṃ samā prabhā prakaṭābhavat | asmākaṃ dṛṣṭiḥ sahasā tasyaiva diśi ākṛṣṭābhavat”
Бхишма сказал: «О Брихаспати! В одно мгновение, прямо перед нашими глазами, явилось единое сияние — словно блеск тысячи солнц разом. Наш взор внезапно, неудержимо, потянуло в ту сторону».

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights how extraordinary, luminous manifestations can seize human attention and signal the presence of a higher power or a decisive turning point. Ethically, it suggests humility before the vastness of the cosmic order and attentiveness to signs that redirect one’s understanding toward dharma.
Bhīṣma addresses Bṛhaspati and reports a sudden appearance of overwhelming brilliance—likened to a thousand suns—arising before them. The phenomenon is so compelling that everyone’s gaze is involuntarily drawn toward its source, indicating an epiphanic or portent-like event.
