Shloka 13
Adhyāya 152 — Bhīṣma’s Authorization for Yudhiṣṭhira’s Return to the Capital (नगरप्रवेशानुज्ञा)
उमोवाच भगवन् सर्वभूतेश भूतभव्यभवोत्तम । त्वत्प्रभावादियं देव वाक् चैव प्रतिभाति मे
umovāca bhagavan sarvabhūteśa bhūtabhavyabhavottama | tvatprabhāvād iyaṃ deva vāk caiva pratibhāti me ||
优摩说道：“世尊啊，万有之主啊，于已然、将然与未然之中最为至上的主啊——凭借你临在的威力，神啊，这些言辞在我心中清明地涌现。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that true insight and eloquent speech can arise through divine grace: Umā attributes her clarity of expression to Śiva’s prabhāva (spiritual power), emphasizing humility and devotion as the ethical posture before sacred knowledge.
In a dialogue between Umā and Maheśvara, Umā addresses Śiva with exalted epithets—Lord of all beings and supreme over past, present, and future—and states that, by his influence, words are manifesting clearly within her, preparing the ground for further instruction or discourse.
