The Instruction on Non-ownership and Renunciation
स पन्थानमथासाद्य समुद्राभिसरं तदा । आससाद वन रम्यं दिव्यं पुष्पितपादपम्
sa panthānam athāsādya samudrābhisaraṃ tadā | āsasāda vana ramyaṃ divyaṃ puṣpitapādapam ||
毗湿摩说道：当时他寻得一条通向大海的道路，便循路而行，来到一片神圣而怡人的森林。其间树木皆缀以繁花，宛如天意引他由迷惘转入吉祥宁静之境。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a transition from searching to finding a clear direction: when a proper path is obtained, one should follow it steadily. The arrival in a blossoming, divine forest functions as an ethical-symbolic marker of auspicious progress—right movement (toward a goal) leading to a calmer, more sattvic environment.
A traveler (referred to simply as 'he') comes upon a route leading toward the sea, follows it, and reaches a beautiful, divine forest where the trees are in full bloom.
