Bhīṣma’s Yogic Departure, Royal Cremation, and Gaṅgā’s Lament (भीष्मस्य योगयुक्त्या देहत्यागः, पितृमेधः, गङ्गाविलापः)
द्वितीयं त्वद्भुतमिदं त्वत्तेज: कृतमद्य वै दृष्टवा च विस्मिता: कृष्ण सा च न: स्मृतिरागता
dvitīyaṃ tv adbhutam idaṃ tvat-tejaḥ-kṛtam adya vai | dṛṣṭvā ca vismitāḥ kṛṣṇa sā ca naḥ smṛtir āgatā ||
نارد نے کہا—اے کرشن! آج تمہارے درخشاں تَیج کے سبب دوسری ایک عجیب و غریب بات واقع ہوئی ہے۔ اسے دیکھ کر ہم حیران رہ گئے ہیں اور شنکر (شیو) سے وابستہ وہ پچھلا واقعہ پھر ہماری یاد میں آ گیا ہے۔

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights tejas (divine radiance/power) as an ethical-spiritual force that inspires awe and remembrance of sacred precedents; wonder becomes a doorway to recollecting dharmic and divine narratives rather than mere spectacle.
Nārada addresses Kṛṣṇa, stating that a second extraordinary occurrence has just taken place due to Kṛṣṇa’s radiance; witnessing it astonishes the observers and triggers recollection of an earlier incident associated with Śaṅkara (Śiva).
