毗湿摩说道：“除他们之外，圣者黑岛生毗耶娑（奎师那·兑婆耶那·毗耶娑）亦来到那里；又有持诵咒念（japa）者中最胜的陀乌弥耶，以及提婆罗、迦叶波、哈斯提迦叶波等诸大圣贤。诸仙具足灌顶誓戒与制御诸根之德，并携同其如天般清净有力、苦行而已成就的弟子一同到来。”

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse underscores that true moral and spiritual authority rests on dīkṣā (consecrated discipline), indriya-saṃyama (sense-restraint), tapas (austerity), and siddhi (attainment). The arrival of such sages and their disciplined disciples signals an assembly grounded in dharma and validated by exemplary conduct.

What is happening in the narrative?

Bhīṣma continues listing revered figures who came to the gathering: Vyāsa, Dhaumya (praised as foremost among japa practitioners), Devala, Kāśyapa, Hastikāśyapa, and other great seers, all accompanied by their godlike, ascetic, accomplished disciples.
