Nāmānirukta of Nārāyaṇa (Keśava–Viṣṇu–Vāsudeva) and the Rudra–Nārāyaṇa Unity Theme
यन्मया समनुष्ेयं ब्रह्मर्षे तदुदाहर । विमुक्तस्येह शिष्यैमें नातिहृष्टमिदं मन:
yanmayā samanuṣṭheyaṃ brahmarṣe tad udāhara | vimuktasyeha śiṣyair me nātihṛṣṭam idaṃ manaḥ ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “O Brahmarshi, ipaliwanag mo sa akin kung anong tungkulin ang dapat kong gampanan ngayon. Sapagkat nahiwalay ako rito sa aking minamahal na mga alagad, ang aking isip sa sandaling ito ay hindi lubos na masaya.”

Educational Q&A
Even when the mind is weighed down by separation and sorrow, one should seek clarity about one’s present dharma and act according to it; emotional disturbance is acknowledged, but duty remains the guiding principle.
Bhishma addresses a great sage (identified in the Hindi gloss as Narada) and asks for instruction on what he should do now; he admits that his mind is not particularly happy because he has been separated from his dear disciples.
