Balarāma’s Pilgrimage Context
ऊपर जाकर उन्होंने बहुत-से अन्तरिक्षचारी एकाग्रचित्तवाले सिद्धोंको देखा। साथ ही उन सिद्धोंके द्वारा पूजे जाते हुए जैगीषव्य मुनिका भी उन्हें दर्शन हुआ ।।
tato 'sitaḥ susaṃrabdho vyavasāyī dṛḍhavrataḥ | apaśyad vai divaṃ yāntaṃ jaigīṣavyaṃ sa devalaḥ ||
升至高处后，他看见许多行于空际、心念专一的悉地者；也看见阇耆湿婆耶牟尼正受那些悉地者礼敬。继而，阿悉多·提婆罗——行事坚决、誓戒牢固——怒火骤起；随后他又见阇耆湿婆耶正升往天界。

Educational Q&A
Even rigorous vows and determination can be undermined by anger and envy; genuine ascetic excellence requires inner humility and freedom from ego when witnessing another’s honor or spiritual rise.
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that the sage Asita Devala, stirred into anger, sees the sage Jaigīṣavya proceeding to heaven—implying Jaigīṣavya’s recognized spiritual merit and the emotional reaction it triggers in Devala.
