Cyavana’s Yogic Display and Kuśika’s Recognition of Tapas (च्यवन-योगप्रभावः कुशिकस्य तपःप्रशंसा च)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें च्यवनमुनिका उपाख्यानविषयक पचासवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ ॥/ ५० ॥ एकपज्चाशत्तमो< ध्याय: राजा नहुषका एक गौके मोलपर च्यवन मुनिको खरीदना
Bhīṣma uvāca: Nahuṣas tu tataḥ śrutvā Cyavanaṁ taṁ tathāgatam | tvaritaḥ prayayau tatra sahāmātya-purohitaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：婆罗多族中最杰出者啊！那诃沙王听闻遮婆那仙人以那般境况来到城邑近旁，便急速赶往其处，随行者有群臣与王家祭司。此景开启一场以法（Dharma）为准绳的相会：君王得知近处有困弱的苦行圣者，当迅速而恭敬地前往相迎，因为对圣贤的礼遇，正是衡量国王正义与德行的尺度。

Educational Q&A
A king’s dharma includes prompt, respectful attention to ascetics and sages—especially when they are vulnerable—because honoring spiritual authority and protecting the righteous sustains social and moral order.
Bhishma narrates that King Nahusha, on hearing that the sage Cyavana has arrived nearby in a particular condition, quickly goes to meet him, taking along his ministers and his priest—setting up the ensuing episode about cows, charity, and merit.
