nāradāsya vacaḥ śrutvā prītāḥ sarve divaukasaḥ | praśaśaṃsur dvijāṃś cāpi brāhmaṇāṃś ca yaśasvinaḥ ||
毗湿摩说：诸天闻纳罗陀之言，皆心生欢喜。于是他们热切称赞诸“二次生者”，尤以声名显赫的婆罗门为甚，确认圣学与正行所当受的尊荣。

The verse underscores a dharmic value: righteous society honors sacred learning and virtuous conduct. Even the gods rejoice at wise counsel and respond by praising the twice-born—especially brāhmaṇas—signaling the cultural-ethical ideal of reverence for spiritual knowledge and those devoted to it.
Bhīṣma narrates that after Nārada speaks, the gods (divaukasaḥ) become pleased and collectively extol the dvijas and the renowned brāhmaṇas, indicating approval of Nārada’s message and the elevated status accorded to learned, dharma-aligned persons.
