तद् दृष्टवा महदाश्चर्य विस्मिता मुनिसत्तमा: । अधिकां सम ततो वृत्तिमवर्तन् पाण्डवान् प्रति
tad dṛṣṭvā mahad āścaryaṃ vismitā munisattamāḥ | adhikāṃ sma tato vṛttim avartan pāṇḍavān prati ||
اس عظیم عجوبے کو دیکھ کر برگزیدہ مُنی حیرت میں ڈوب گئے۔ تب سے پاندَووں کے بارے میں ان کا رویّہ اور زیادہ موافق—محبت اور احترام سے بھرپور—ہو گیا۔

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.
