भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival

tāv ubhau puruṣavyāghrau divyau divyaparākramau | draṣṭavyau mānanīyau ca cakra-hala-dhāriṇau ||
وہ دونوں مردوں میں شیر ہیں—دِیوْی روپ والے اور دِیوْی پرाकرم سے بھرپور۔ وہ دیدار کے لائق اور تعظیم کے مستحق ہیں؛ کیونکہ وہ چکر اور ہل دھारण کرنے والے بلرام اور شری کرشن ہیں۔

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches dharmic conduct toward the truly great: when encountering divine or exemplary persons, one should seek their darśana and offer due honor. Respect (māna) is presented as an ethical obligation aligned with recognizing virtue and divinity.
Īśvara identifies two extraordinary, divine heroes—Balarāma and Kṛṣṇa—by their emblems (plough and discus) and instructs that they are worthy of being approached, seen, and honored.
