भीष्म उवाच एवं तयो: संवदतो: क्रियास्तस्य महात्मन: । सर्वा एव प्रवर्तन्ते या दिव्या याश्व मानुषी:
bhīṣma uvāca evaṃ tayoḥ saṃvadatoḥ kriyās tasya mahātmanaḥ | sarvā eva pravartante yā divyā yāś ca mānuṣīḥ ||

भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A

Bhishma narrates that as the sages Bhṛgu and Agastya continue their conversation, events and observances in King Nahusha’s residence are actively underway—covering both ceremonial/divine rites and ordinary human activities.
