Maitreya
तस्य धर्मार्थविदुषो दृष्टवा तद् विपुलं तपः । आजगाम द्विजश्रेष्ठ: कृष्णद्वैपषायनस्तदा
tasya dharmārthaviduṣo dṛṣṭvā tad vipulaṃ tapaḥ | ājagāma dvijaśreṣṭhaḥ kṛṣṇadvaipāyanas tadā ||
见那王子——通达法（dharma）与利（artha）之要义者——所修广大而猛烈的苦行，婆罗门中最胜者黑天·岛生（克利须那·德瓦派亚那）毗耶娑，于是时前来相见。

Educational Q&A
When a ruler (or aspirant) combines understanding of dharma (ethical duty) and artha (practical welfare) with sincere tapas (disciplined effort), it becomes worthy of recognition and guidance from realized sages; moral insight must be supported by lived self-discipline.
Bhīṣma narrates that Vyāsa, the eminent Brahmin sage, comes to a prince after witnessing the prince’s great austerities—signaling a moment where ascetic commitment invites authoritative counsel.
