एतच्छुत्वा महाप्राज्ञ तत्र गन्तुं त्वमहसि । दातुमरहसि वा तस्य दर्शन दर्शनश्रव:,महाप्राज्ञ नागराज! मेरी यह बात सुनकर अब आपको वहाँ जाना चाहिये और ब्राह्मणदेवताको दर्शन देना चाहिये
etac chrutvā mahāprājña tatra gantuṁ tvam arhasi | dātum arhasi vā tasya darśanaṁ darśanaśravaḥ ||
Wika ni Bhishma: “O lubhang marunong, pagkarinig nito ay nararapat kang magtungo roon. Ipagkaloob mo rin sa kanya ang biyaya ng iyong pagharap—ang iyong masilayan, na bantog—upang matupad ang hangarin ng karapat-dapat na naghahanap.”

Educational Q&A
A wise person should act promptly upon good counsel and, when appropriate, offer ‘darśana’—a gracious audience or personal presence—as a meaningful gift that supports a seeker’s dharmic aim.
Bhishma urges a highly wise addressee to go to a certain place and to grant someone the benefit of meeting/seeing him, emphasizing the ethical value of responding to a worthy request.
