Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 16
आदित्या: सत्रमासन्त सरो वै मानसं प्रति । वसिष्ठ॑ मनसा गत्वा ज्ञात्वा तत् तस्य गौरवम्,“एक समय देवताओंने वसिष्ठ मुनिके गौरवको जानकर मन-ही-मन उनकी शरण जाकर मानसरोवरके तटपर यज्ञ आरम्भ किया
Ādityāḥ satram āsanta saro vai Mānasam prati | Vasiṣṭhaṁ manasā gatvā jñātvā tat tasya gauravam ||
毗湿摩说：诸阿底提耶在摩那萨罗伐罗湖畔举行长时祭会。既明了圣者婆悉吒的伟大，他们以由衷的敬意在心中趋向于他，并为尊崇其崇高德业，便在彼处开始了祭仪。

Educational Q&A
Recognition of true spiritual greatness (gaurava) should lead to concrete, dharmic action—here, honoring a sage by approaching with reverence (even mentally) and undertaking sacred duty (satra/yajña) in a purified setting.
Bhīṣma narrates that the Ādityas, having understood Vasiṣṭha’s eminence, approached him with inward reverence and began a prolonged sacrificial session on the bank of Lake Mānasarovara.
