Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
तव प्रसादसंवृत्तमिदं सर्व महामुने । नैतच्चित्र॑ तु भगवंस्त्वयि सत्यपराक्रम
tava prasāda-saṁvṛttam idaṁ sarvaṁ mahā-mune | na etac citraṁ tu bhagavan tvayi satya-parākrama ||
महामुने, तव प्रसादेनैवेदं सर्वं संवृत्तम्। भगवन् सत्यपराक्रम, त्वयि सत्यनिष्ठे तपस्विनि एतादृशी शक्तिः सुलभैव; नैतच्चित्रम्।

Educational Q&A
Bhishma highlights that extraordinary outcomes arise through the grace of a spiritually accomplished person, and that such power is not ‘miraculous’ in a sensational sense but a natural fruit of tapas and steadfast truth. The ethical emphasis is on humility, gratitude, and recognizing spiritual merit as rooted in satya and discipline.
Bhishma addresses a great sage with reverence, attributing the successful unfolding of events to the sage’s gracious favor. He then remarks that it is unsurprising for a truth-steadfast ascetic to display such potency, thereby honoring the sage’s spiritual authority.
