तद्‌ दृष्टवा महदाश्चर्य विस्मिता मुनिसत्तमा: । अधिकां सम ततो वृत्तिमवर्तन्‌ पाण्डवान्‌ प्रति,वह महान्‌ आश्चर्य देखकर वे श्रेष्ठ मुनिगण बड़े विस्मयमें पड़े। तबसे पाण्डवोंके प्रति उनमें अधिक प्रेम और आदरका भाव पैदा हो गया

tad dṛṣṭvā mahad āścaryaṃ vismitā munisattamāḥ | adhikāṃ sma tato vṛttim avartan pāṇḍavān prati ||

ครั้นเห็นอัศจรรย์อันยิ่งใหญ่นั้น เหล่ามุนีผู้ประเสริฐก็พิศวงยิ่งนัก นับแต่นั้นมา ความรู้สึกของท่านทั้งหลายต่อปาณฑพก็ยิ่งโน้มเอียงไปในทางดี—เปี่ยมด้วยความเอ็นดูและความเคารพ

Educational Q&A

True excellence and dharmic conduct naturally evoke reverence in the wise; when sages witness extraordinary virtue or a remarkable event connected with the righteous, their respect and goodwill deepen.

After witnessing a great marvel, the assembled sages become amazed, and from that point they adopt an even more favorable attitude toward the Pāṇḍavas, showing heightened affection and honor.
