रेमाते यत्र तौ नित्यं नरनारायणावृषी । उस वैहायस कुण्डमें स्नान करके मैंने विधिपर्वूक देवताओं और पितरोंका तर्पण किया। उसके बाद उस आश्रममें प्रवेश किया
remāte yatra tau nityaṃ nara-nārāyaṇāv ṛṣī | us vaihāyasa-kuṇḍe snāna kṛtvā mayā vidhi-pūrvakaṃ devatānāṃ pitṝṇāṃ ca tarpaṇaṃ kṛtam | tataḥ sa āśramaḥ praviṣṭo yatra munivarau naras ca nārāyaṇaś ca nityaṃ sānandaṃ nivasantau |
毗湿摩说：“有一处所在，二圣仙那罗与那罗延常在其中欢悦。我在名为‘毗诃耶娑’（Vaihāyasa）的天池沐浴之后，依仪轨向诸天与祖灵行作塔尔帕那（tarpana）供献，以致其满足。随后我进入那座精舍，至上圣仙那罗与那罗延恒常安住于清宁喜乐之中。”

Educational Q&A
The passage underscores dharma through disciplined purity and gratitude: one approaches sacred wisdom by first purifying oneself and honoring both gods and ancestors via prescribed rites (snāna and tarpaṇa), then entering the space of higher teaching embodied by Nara–Narayana.
Bhishma narrates a visit to the hermitage of the twin sages Nara and Narayana. He bathes in the celestial pool Vaihāyasa-kuṇḍa, performs ritual offerings to deities and ancestors, and then enters the ashram where the sages dwell in constant, joyful austerity.
