Cyavana’s Yogic Display and Kuśika’s Recognition of Tapas (च्यवन-योगप्रभावः कुशिकस्य तपःप्रशंसा च)
समाप्तदीक्षश्ष्यवनस्ततोडगच्छत् स्वमाश्रमम् | गविजश्न महातेजा: स्वमाश्रमपर्द ययौ
samāptadīkṣaś cyavanas tato ’gacchat svam āśramam | gaviṣṭho mahātejāḥ svam āśramapadaṁ yayau ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Nang matapos ang banal na panata ng pagtatalaga (dīkṣā) ni Rishi Cyavana, siya’y umalis patungo sa sarili niyang ashram. Pagkaraan, ang pantas na maningning, si Gaviṣṭha (Gojāta), ay nagbalik din sa sarili niyang ashram.”

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the dharmic ideal of disciplined observance: once a vowed rite (dīkṣā) is properly completed, the ascetic returns to his rightful station (āśrama), emphasizing order, restraint, and fidelity to prescribed duties.
Bhīṣma narrates a transition: Cyavana finishes his consecrated observance and goes back to his hermitage; afterward another illustrious sage, Gaviṣṭha (also referred to as Gojāta), likewise departs for his own hermitage.
