Devaśarmā–Vipula Dialogue on Ahorātra–Ṛtu as Moral Witnesses (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय ४३)
तेषामन्तर्गत॑ ज्ञात्वा देवानां स पितामह:
teṣām antargataṃ jñātvā devānāṃ sa pitāmahaḥ
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Nang maunawaan niya ang nasa kalooban nila—ang lihim na layon at kalagayan ng mga diyos—kumilos si Pitāmaha (Brahmā) ayon sa pagkaunawang iyon, at itinuwid ang daloy ng mga pangyayari alinsunod sa kaayusang kosmiko at sa wastong dharma.”

Educational Q&A
Right action is grounded in true understanding: when the inner reality (antargata) of beings is known, guidance and decisions can align with dharma and the larger cosmic order.
Bhīṣma narrates that Pitāmaha (Brahmā), perceiving the gods’ inner situation or intention, proceeds accordingly—implying a decisive intervention or direction based on insight rather than appearances.
