Āśramāgamanam — The Pāṇḍavas Arrive at Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Hermitage
धृतराष्ट्रस्थ च तदा दिव्यं चक्षुर्नराधिप । मुनि: सत्यवतीपुत्र: प्रीत: प्रादात् तपोबलात्,नरेश्वरर उस समय सत्यवतीनन्दन मुनिवर व्यासने प्रसन्न होकर अपने तपोबलसे धृतराष्ट्रको दिव्य नेत्र प्रदान किये
dhṛtarāṣṭrasya ca tadā divyaṃ cakṣur narādhipa | muniḥ satyavatīputraḥ prītaḥ prādāt tapobalāt ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：于是，噢，大王，圣者毗耶娑——萨蒂娅瓦蒂之子——心生欢喜，以苦行之力赐予持国王以天眼。此一赐予，在叙事中象征觉者的慈悲介入：将外在与内在的洞见授予久失肉眼之人，并昭示伦理主题——灵性功德可以用来成就他人的福祉与觉醒。

Educational Q&A
Tapas (austerity) and realized wisdom are not merely personal attainments; they can become instruments of compassion. Vyāsa’s gift of divine sight suggests that true spiritual power is ethically directed—used to illuminate, guide, and uplift those in need.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Vyāsa, pleased, grants Dhṛtarāṣṭra divine vision. The episode marks a moment where the blind king receives extraordinary sight through a sage’s ascetic potency, enabling perception beyond ordinary limits.
