अध्याय ३३७ — ज्ञानमार्ग-वैविध्यप्रश्नः तथा व्यासस्य नारायणोद्भवकथा
Systems of Knowledge and Vyāsa’s Nārāyaṇa-Origin
सहसा दृष्टवन्त: सम पुनरेव बृहस्पते । “बृहस्पते! थोड़ी ही देरमें हमारे सामने एक ही साथ हजारों सूर्योके समान प्रभा प्रकट हुई। हमारी दृष्टि सहसा उस ओर खिंच गयी
sahasā dṛṣṭavantaḥ sma punar eva bṛhaspate | “bṛhaspate! thoḍī hī der meṃ asmākaṃ samakṣaṃ ekaiva sāhasrāṇāṃ sūryāṇāṃ samā prabhā prakaṭābhavat | asmākaṃ dṛṣṭiḥ sahasā tasyaiva diśi ākṛṣṭābhavat”
Bhīṣma nói: “Ôi Bṛhaspati! Chỉ trong khoảnh khắc, ngay trước mắt chúng ta, một luồng quang minh duy nhất hiện ra—rực rỡ như ánh sáng của một ngàn mặt trời cùng lúc. Ánh nhìn của chúng ta bỗng bị cuốn hút không cưỡng lại được về phía ấy.”

The passage highlights how extraordinary, luminous manifestations can seize human attention and signal the presence of a higher power or a decisive turning point. Ethically, it suggests humility before the vastness of the cosmic order and attentiveness to signs that redirect one’s understanding toward dharma.
Bhīṣma addresses Bṛhaspati and reports a sudden appearance of overwhelming brilliance—likened to a thousand suns—arising before them. The phenomenon is so compelling that everyone’s gaze is involuntarily drawn toward its source, indicating an epiphanic or portent-like event.
