Cyavana’s Yogic Display and Kuśika’s Recognition of Tapas (च्यवन-योगप्रभावः कुशिकस्य तपःप्रशंसा च)

भरतश्रेष्ठ! यह मैंने गौओंका माहात्म्य बताया है। इसमें उनके गुणोंका दिग्दर्शन मात्र कराया गया है। गौओंके सम्पूर्ण गुणोंका वर्णन तो कोई कर ही नहीं सकता ।।

niṣādā ūcuḥ | darśanaṃ kathanaṃ caiva sahāsmābhiḥ kṛtaṃ mune | satāṃ saptapadaṃ maitraṃ prasādaṃ naḥ kuru prabho ||

నిషాదులు అన్నారు—మునీ! మేము మీ దర్శనం చేసాము, మీతో కలిసి సంభాషణ కూడా చేసాము. సజ్జనులలో ఏడు అడుగులు కలిసి నడిచినంత మాత్రాన స్నేహం ఏర్పడుతుంది; కావున ప్రభో! మాపై ప్రసన్నుడై కృప చూపండి.

Educational Q&A

Association with the virtuous (satsaṅga) is transformative: even a brief shared journey—symbolized by ‘seven steps together’—is traditionally enough to establish a bond of friendship, implying that respectful contact with the good naturally invites goodwill and grace.

After interacting with a sage—having his audience (darśana) and a sustained conversation (kathana)—the Niṣādas appeal to him on the basis of the saptapada convention, requesting his favor and benevolent assistance.
