तदद्भुतं महद्दृष्ट्वा नैव विप्रो विसिष्मिये । यतो बहुविधं चित्रं भवेद्भूताद्युपासिषु
tadadbhutaṃ mahaddṛṣṭvā naiva vipro visiṣmiye | yato bahuvidhaṃ citraṃ bhavedbhūtādyupāsiṣu
اس بڑے عجیب کرشمے کو دیکھ کر بھی وہ برہمن ذرا بھی حیران نہ ہوا؛ کیونکہ بھوت وغیرہ کی پوجا کرنے والوں میں طرح طرح کے انوکھے عجائبات ظاہر ہو سکتے ہیں۔
Narrator (contextual; likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa in Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration)
Scene: A brāhmaṇa watches a newly formed lake without surprise—calm eyes, steady posture—while others might gape; the miracle-worker stands nearby, expecting admiration.
Do not mistake paranormal wonders for spiritual authority; dharma is judged by right teaching and right conduct.
No particular tīrtha is mentioned; the verse contrasts marvels with dharmic discernment.
None; it offers an evaluative principle: marvels may arise even in questionable worship, so one should not be swayed.
