प्रतिग्रहभेदः — The Distinction between Giving and Accepting
Vṛṣādarbhī–Saptarṣi Dialogue
तस्यासीत् प्रतिबुद्धस्य शोकेन व्यथितात्मन: । मन: संवृत्य विषये बुद्धिर्विस्तारगामिनी
tasyāsīt pratibuddhasya śokena vyathitātmanaḥ | manaḥ saṃvṛtya viṣaye buddhir vistāragāminī ||
جب اسے ہوش آیا تو غم نے اس کے باطن کو مضطرب کر دیا۔ اس نے حواس کے موضوعات سے دل کو سمیٹ لیا اور اس کی عقل پھیلنے لگی—بیرونی انتشار سے ہٹ کر اندرونی صاف بصیرت کی طرف۔
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Sorrow can become a turning point: when one awakens to the reality of loss, one should restrain the mind from chasing sense-objects and allow buddhi (discernment) to broaden toward wiser, dharmic understanding.
Bhishma describes a person who, after regaining awareness, is struck by grief; in response, he withdraws his mind from external objects, and his intellect begins to expand—suggesting an inward shift from agitation to reflective clarity.
