ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā
किमर्थमृषिपूगस्य त्यक्तसड्रस्य नित्यश: । निर्ममस्यागमवतो विस्मय: समुपागत:,“महर्षियो! ऋषिसमुदाय तो आसक्ति और ममतासे रहित है! सबको शास्त्रोंका ज्ञान है, फिर भी आपलोगोंको आश्चर्य क्यों हो रहा है?
kimartham ṛṣipūgasya tyaktasaṅgasya nityaśaḥ | nirmamasya āgamavato vismayaḥ samupāgataḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“为何惊异会在这群仙圣的集会中生起——他们恒常离于执著，无有占有之心，又通达神圣教法？对于已舍弃攀缘、明了诸《沙斯特拉》(śāstra)的人，又怎会有可惊可怪之因？”

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma highlights that true sages—detached, non-possessive, and grounded in śāstric knowledge—should not be easily shaken into surprise; spiritual maturity implies steadiness and clarity rather than reactive wonder.
Bhīṣma addresses an assembly of ṛṣis who appear astonished at something being discussed, and he questions the basis of their amazement, emphasizing their expected detachment and scriptural understanding.
